That'd be great, Mark, I would enjoy that.

I tried to install Doom 3 on Ubuntu Edgy, and though I was successful to 
start the game in Linux, the sound is garbled to the point that 
something is seriously wrong, and the game will freeze up.  Maybe I have 
to install Realtek's own linux audio drivers, but I'm not really sure 
how to do that.  I have noticed other arcade style games are giving me 
the same problem.

I definitely like Doom3 and Unreal Tournament 2004 (especially when I am 
playing the machine's own killable bots).  In a real tournament, 
everybody's jumping up and down and all over the place, and I end up as 
dead-meat fairly soon.  But I'd rather be fragged by friends.

best,
Chris W.
