Neat! Google have released the new version of Picasa 3.5 with built in Facial recognition. It appears it's only for Windows/Mac users as they claim there's a poor response from Linux users... Perhaps due to the fact that there is no native Linux version? There is a v3 which is nothing more than the windows version bundled with wine. So, for the clever Linux users:

1. Download picasa35.exe (http://picasa.google.com) and install via wine
2. Replace old "picasa3" folder in /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/drive_c/Program Files/Google with the new one created by wine installer ($homedir$/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Google/Picasa3 or similar) I used "gksu nautilus" to get a GUI filebrowser
3. Enjoy!

Be sure to disable the update feature in options!

I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) with Wine 1.1.29

Well since I couldn't get UT2003 to work, I opted for the original UT... used the lokigames installer and it went smooth as glass... and it runs frighteningly fast on my Quad Q9300 with Geforce 9600GT and 3gb ram... too fast even... even at 1680x1050 on my 22inch monitor... 360+ FPS... lmao

Decided I needed a decent FPS on my machine, and since I had a copy of UT2003 laying around, thought I'd try to install it in Ubuntu.

This is the process that seemed to work for me:

Insert disk3, copy "linux_installer.sh" to my home dir, open a terminal in the home dir, and run:
sudo _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 linux32 sh ./linux_installer.sh

follow the gui installer :)

If you run the installer off Disk3 directly you can't eject the disk when prompted... The install for me went in this order: Disk3, Disk1, Disk2 HOWEVER the installer starts from the last disk(disk3/3), then asks for the play disk(disk1/3), then disk1 (disk2/3), then disk2 (disk3/3) if that makes any sense...

Once all that was finished a window popped up asking for my cdkey twice, which errored no matter how I entered it. so I Ctrl-C closed it, and manually added a cdkey in my home dir ~/ut2003/system/cdkey in the exact cdkey format (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx)

still no luck getting it to work... some reference materials:
