[ut3] linux client

[Jean-Patrick Simard]

I too am disappointed with the absence of a Linux client...  But I'm 
also disappointed with the game, having dual booted to play it...  and 
now removed windows again.  I don't much care for the new UT and am 
nostalgic of ut2004, which I will reinstall.  I just wanted to say that 
there is much more that went wrong with the latest UT then the Linux client.

So I go along the lines of Donovan too.  But Donovan, did you think of 
"parallels" virtualization on your mac?  It offers 3d acceleration, and 
you woudn't need a pc... just in case you didn't hear about that.
