Aye. But it's worth it. It's one of the game that still is on my computer.

Without a doubt, my favorite game for Linux. Also has easy installation, but I recommend installing to a subdir in your home directory. You won't need root privileges.

I am getting the error "file not found." Where can I download this ET Mod?

Complaint #4: Linux is not ready for the desktop!
Reply: Sorry, but it is and it has been for a while now. A great deal of people, myself included, have been using Linux for their primary desktop OS for a long time now. We get by just fine. The reality is that you and 75% or more of your fellow computer users (guesstimation) simply aren't ready for Linux. The nix flavors represent ways of interacting with your computer and a philosophies that are just different enough to disorient, confuse, and frustrate you - especially if you're a long time Windows user. If you're simply not familiar enough with the kind of thinking involved, "tools of the trade" or you simply just don't like to think too much, you're likely going to claim that it's Linux's fault when you run into initial problems. The fact that Linux is also under a continual development cycle also tends to give the impression that it's just never quite "there" yet. See this post as well. I go into more detail there in response to some more LINRFTD posts.

Sorry, but your argument defeats itself. Try again.
