I got the deb package day-of and have it running on my system, but haven't been able to do much as I wasn't chosen for the beta, and it flags you as such, aborting the app. I can still get on their messenger/im, but I don't know anyone on steam or cared much being a windoze walled garden to now.

It did work pretty flawlessly I was surprised to see, at least until getting to actually launch a game.

    Yes, I picked up the linux Quake 4 iso via torrent, whereupon I got
    a License key (which we linux users usually have to get from an XP
    purchased Instruction Book) [that didn't work] and all the pk4 files
    (which we linux gamers usually have to copy from the windows XP
    CD/DVDs.

    I used the license key from a used game I purchased at a local
    Bookmans, and the pk4 files (since my disks had corruption) and got
    it running happily with my nVidia card.

    It's really nice, especially in server mode.  The best parts of
    Quake are the cheat codes that allow you to dink around without
    really getting killed all the time.

        I payed it all the way through a few years ago when it was new,
        but I don't think i even have it currently installed.  I was
        thinking about it though since it really did enjoy that one and
        it's been long enough that it would be like player a whole new game.

        The most recent game that I purchased was Alice: Madness
        Returns, but it's a windows game.  The only reason I got it was
        that people were claiming that it ran well under wine, but so
        far I've had no luck at all.  So I won't be playing that one
        until wine does run it.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
