RPMs make the game unaccessible (without annoyance) to Slackware, BSD,

SuSE users. DEBs make it unaccessable everywhere but Debian.

This solution works everywhere.

alright, apparently.

In a world plagued with porn sites, spam, and Morpheus, are Universities
REALLY busting people's balls over a 3.8 megabyte download?
