Slashdot Mirror

linuxgames.com has a story involving the upcoming Linux server port of Unreal, as well as a possible client(!) port to Linux as well. You can also read the original post over at Epic MegaGames. Epic is now looking at more 3D APIs besides Glide, and hopes to use OpenGL for any Unreal ports.

What I have here is a few examples on how best to help evangelize Linux. First off is the now fairly well known Unreal petition has apparently been noticed, as The Official Site has mentioned it (although I haven't been able to connect to the server so I can't confirm it). Thanks to Reset for letting us know. Shalon Wood plans to do something similiar for Might and Magic VI, email him if you're interested. Finally Steven Tieu wrote in to say that he has a petition online you can sign if you are interested in a port of a port of SoftWindows. Sign these things only if you're willing to put your money behind it- this is commercial software, but I'm sure more ports is something most of us want to see (except the truly hardcore free folks)
