Trying to install autopackage on ubuntu is slightly broken since it asks for the root password when there isn't one. Maybe check if the root account is disabled and use sudo if it is? Still works though, just can't install anything system-wide.:(
I assume you're talking about the linux port of UT2003 which is slower than the windows version. This is because UT2003 was written using DirectX and was only later ported to use OpenGL. The OpenGL renderer *is* slower but that isn't the fault of the OS. The renderer just needs a some work.
Why would you want to use windows and have the bulk of your memory taken up by a bloated OS when you can use linux and have the vast majority available for gaming?
Games are very demanding and technically complex programs, so it only makes sense to use an OS that can do a good job of handling such programs.

Thanks for pointing that out.. I don't think any of us Linux gamers had come across any of this information in the past few days. Bravo!
Now i can stop checking the mirrors every 5 mintues.

This is totally untrue.
