dandel: michaellarabel, can i suggest manually adding th e download and compile of libglew from source over relying on the package managers, because some nasty bugs appear with older versions of libglew.
michaellarabel: dandel: Do you have a patch to do all that? :)

sado1: wow has its linux version too.
sado1: but non-public
sado1: lol nvm, I can't read
dandel: michaellarabel, i'd say it's about time to do an obituary style news post for UT3 on linux and see what happens.
