What I don't understand is why Epic don't use linux as there dev
environment. I'm Ex Weta-digital in new zealand. We use exclusively
linux, (except for production monkeys =-). Maya under linux rocks, and I
find it very strange that epic didn't develop unreal ed for linux. 

Dunno... 

Does anyone have a link to download the latest unreal ed for windows,
i'm going to try it under winex, and see what happens. (I have original
DVD copy of ut2004, but I have a feeling the editor gets installed only
if you install in windows, there are certainly traces of the editor in
the linux install but no executable...maybe I should have a look on the
dvd again..)


Grrr... wondering if Ryan has any thoughts on this issue.... Ryan?

Kind regards

Joel
