Noticed that X-Plane is now shipping a Linux version along with their
Windows version. Anyone running Linux?

Running Slackware 10.0 here, and have noticed virtually no difference
between the Windoze and Linux-native versions. The only thing is you
need a good 3D-accelerator video card (either Geforce or ATI) with the
Linux driver from their respective websites. I use the Geforce (FX5200
with 256meg RAM), and their Linux support is top notch. Heard nothing
but HORROR stories about ATI's Linux support....

One last thing to keep in mind: with the Linux version, you need to
install it in your /home/yourusername directory, or you will need to run
it with root access if you install it in /usr/local.

Hope this helps...
