@BasiliskWrangler -- THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING LINUX! The game is incredible so far, and I can't wait to get my grubby paws on my DVD when you ship them out next week.
For anyone who might be hesitating about buying the game, I can confirm that it works very smoothly with the following configuration:
Linux version 1.03B of the game
KT600 Via motherboard
AMD AthlonXP 2600+ (1.92Mhz)
1Gig RAM (way more than needed)
nVidia GeForce5500FX cards (very old G4 level card.. pre-2005)
nvidia-drivers-173.14.22
Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.31+ and 2.6.32+)
ancient (pre-2000) SB-Live soundcard (ALSA)
So although Basilisk can only officially support Ubuntu as a one-man shop, don't be afraid to take the plunge! The game itself is fantastic so far, and runs GREAT under the default OpenGL acceleration.
If anyone is having trouble, or questions about a Gentoo configuration or driver version, post here. I'll do what I can to help & compare to my system(s) config.
