Re: [GD-Linux] ANN: Candy Cruncher for Linux shipped

Agreed

We are making games, and games have to look sexy. They need good looking
installers, because that's part of the package. I am happy that the
average Linux gamer usually has a bit more knowledge about his system than
the average win32 gamer. It makes bug tracking a bit easier (except for
the fact that Linux is so heterogeneous that it has way more tricky issues
than win32).

But overall what we see on Q3 and mostly RTCW over the past few months, is
that there are more and more 'newbie' Linux users/gamers, which really
rely on very easy-to-setup installers. And they use RH 7.2 or Mandrake 8
obviously ... and this is GOOD.
