kjordan2001 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 It'll run just fine. Any distro can run it as long as you have OpenGL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMan Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 ok thnx for the help peepsMDK 9.0 fine? MDK 9.0 is fine. You may need to update Xfree to get the nvidia drivers to do their job, but apart from that, you shouldn't have a problem. kjordan2001: Don't mean to be pedantic, but it's not quite as simple as the card support OpenGL (after all, a Voodoo 1 has OpenGL!) FYI, you need a card capable of DXTC/S3TC extentions within OpenGL, which for Nvidia I think is either Geforce 2 and higher, or Geforce 3 and higher (including the Geforce4 MX range).

rommel Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 you should download the ut2003 game iso from one of gentoo.orgs mirrors... it is a livcd that will boot and auto detect your hardware adn run the demo of the game... plenty good for skool show and tell.

BananaMan Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 when did they make a linux version of UT2k3? i want a copy, where can i get one? is it free? It comes with the retail version of Linux, on CD 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l77Il7H Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 wow that's sooo cool! i don't have the retail version of linux, i only have linux mandrake 9.1 3 CD's. can i download UT2k3 somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 (edited) wow that's sooo cool! i don't have the retail version of linux, i only have linux mandrake 9.1 3 CD's. can i download UT2k3 somewhere? Er, well, it is a retail product, so you're going to have to buy it if you want to play it. :blink: Just because a Linux version exists doesn't mean that the Linux version is free. You can download the Linux demo though, just do a google for it, it's everywhere. EDIT: See post below this one. I'm a goose. :ike: Edited November 8, 2003 by BananaMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 AHHH! *bashes head* Brain fatigue. I meant retail version of UT2003, not retail version of Linux!! I'm sorry, I take my last post back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
