Hi Tim!

I don´t want to code for windows, I will try to help with kdevelop and
this sourcecode.

I think that anyone who will play open jumpgate can use a Live CD when
he don´t want to install any distribution.

For any Windows User I can write an HowTo how to use a Live Distribution
Like Knoppix or Ubuntuu.

You know my problems to compile the sourcecode, first i will try to
write an howto for that and I hope that one or two developer help it to
switch to Linux and help on Open Jumpgate.

Open Jumpgate is a Fan Projekt and hope there are some more fans which
are able to code c++ but didn´t have some Linux experience.

I am realy realy realy realy like this projekt and hope that more fans
come to help.

I don´t know where are you come from, me from Germany, and I don´t like
to Play on the "worldwide server". And I see this Projekt as a chance to
advance the original gameplay. (That why I ask about the Gameplans in
the other Mail).
