I tried running in WINE first, as I only had the Unreal Anthology at

If you are planning on going 100% *nix, I'd like to suggest Pan as a
newsreader.  It is fairly "Agent-like"..

As to UT, the Loki binaries are still around
http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/updates.php3 .  It isn't hard to
install.

Why would you do that? UT, UT2003 and UT2004 all install pretty easily, and 
always have, just as sixdarts says use the loki installer for UT, 2003 + 4 
both have linux installers included.
