I just set up my desktop PC to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu Linux
(7.04 Feisty Fawn).  Previously I had an UnrealGold install with the
Newunreal OpenGL patch (very worthwhile on it's own).  Just out of
curiosity, I tried to run it under Linux with Wine and it worked!!
Graphics were perfect, sound worked, it would connect to internet
servers.  All no problem.

I've been running dedicated Unreal game servers under Linux for a long
time, but this was the first time it worked with a graphic game.  Very
cool!
