Ultimate Edition Gamers
by TheeMahn on Jan.23, 2010, under Gamers, Linux, Ubuntu, Ultamatix, Ultimate Edition
We have a new gamers; many have been snagging w/o a official announcement (90 ppl before it was even finished uploading), now consider it official. Let me explain what it is.
I took Ultimate Edition 2.4 installed 255 updates / upgrades. I then installed a new theme “Lava”, installed Urban Terror, and a map pack I have written for it.
Well that does not sound like much of a gamers edition does it? Ultamatix will provide you 46 additional games soon to be 49. In case you did not catch that a new Ultamatix is also coming. I can only cram so much on a DVD. Why Urban Terror?
Finetuch is going to pay for a dedicated Urban Terror server so us UE users can beat the tar out of each other 
You can read and learn more about that here. I look forward to beating a few of you down myself. Please pay close attention to architecture when downloading. I do want to point out I no longer run windows; why? I kept it around for games; I have no use for it anymore. When I am done you will as well.
A few shots for you, note all shots are off a live USB stick:

Sorry to spend an extra day have what will be our urban terror server http://ultimateurbanterror.info. Finetuch is your admin there. I will whack a few of you for sure. A free for all is coming. I can personally unleash stress there. Wait until it is officially set up, you will quickly understand. Sick puppies tells me one of us is going down. I will not accept anything short of a 1 to 1 ratio, I will earn it.
Enjoy ladies & gents,
TheeMahn

Great work. For the next version, you should at least consider adding the free multiplayer Postal 2:STP. Native Linux installer and a helluva lot o fun.

There are many considerations being placed on the upcoming gamers will be dropped Lucid based. An alpha of UE 2.6 was released to beta testers and admin and I have received rave reviews. We still have a ways to go NTL.

This sounds like a n00b question, and may be a tiny bit off-topic, but I might as well ask the masters. I’ve been looking for a reason to completely abandon Windows, and I found that reason with Ultimate Edition (the only thing holding me to Windows was gaming). So now that I can build a Linux gaming rig, my question is this: how good is ATi’s Linux driver support? I had heard that it was really terrible back then, but I also heard that starting with the HD 4xxx series ATi started bundling native Linux drivers on the driver CDs, so I just wanted an update on how things were going. Thanks in advance.

I am going to be honest with you, I have and run a ATI Radeon 1650. Actually have 2 of them. The Linux support for those cards are impeccable (I can run compiz live w/o any ATI driver, just native linux driver). Native 3D support. AMD’s err ATI’s support for those cards is sub par. I have recently purchased a new Mainboard with tripple SLI (Nvidia), why? My girlfriend has a video card that is years older and fully supported by Nvidia. My video card which is newer 512MB has 0 support from ATI. Nvidia, while they do not have native drivers yet (this is being done as I type and do have 2D working). Nvidia does at least make drivers for their video cards.
I want you to think about this, I own AMD which bought ATI is it in my best interest to create a motherboard that only supports ATI? I call it a monopoly ladies and gents. HD native support maybe in a year or 2. I am sorry does not stop the huge factor of AMD / ATI mainboards you will see in the future.
I could spew on for hours in software development in nix & prefer not to make an ass of myself, I do plenty good of a job w/o trying to do so.

So email a way so I can download the 2.4 version of the gamers I still cant get it from sourceforge. I think that you should make a torrent for both the x86 and the x64 version. Email me back if ya do.

I suggest a roll through our ISO folder, we have cloud based hosting, just like torrent 6 comps will send you the iso, all on at least a gigabit connection. You want torrent why?
