    http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=117228&c id=9914322 What part of that comment did you not understand?!?! Talk about an even more misleading headline. Would it be so hard to add "in testing"?

    Here they announce the beta is available on Shacknews [linuxgames.com] but I cannot find it, which is a bit frustrating... full text here under :

    "id Software's Robert Duffy updated his .plan file tonight to announce an open beta test for the Win32 DOOM 3 patch at Shacknews, an update in which he also commented on the status of the Linux dedicated server:

    We have released the first update for DOOM 3 as a beta and on a limited scale ( it is only available on the File Shack at www.shacknews.com ). We don't anticipate any issues with it but felt it best to get it into the hands of a few thousand people rather than the entire customer base in case we missed something. We will release the update through our update server for wide release once we have verified there are no problems with it.

    We will be releasing another update in the near future that will include Punk Busters cheat protection functionality for DOOM III.

    The SDK is also ready to go and as soon as the update is out in non beta form the SDK will be made available for download.

    The Linux Dedicated server is also ready to go and will also be available as soon as the update is non beta.

    Presumably, this indicates the Linux client isn't all that far away either."

    I found here [fileshack.com] all the I could on doom 3 and Id software in Fileshack...

    So, almighty Slashcrowd, who can help mefind the precious , working Doom 3 for Linux ?

    I wonder when MacOS X version will be done.

Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
