not only is it not free enough yet - im not entirely sure a linux port really has the authors full support. i quote from the website:
"Those Linux boys and girls need to get a little focus on things. Don't YELL Linux is good, make it good! Because currently it sucks big time. Not the system itself but all support around it. Why are there 8 different sound driver layers? Why are there multiple desktop managers (incompatible on API level)? Why can't I set a thread to realtime level without becomming setuid root? Why do I have to mount a floppy before I can read it?"
fair enough. everyones entitled to their own opinion....even if they are wrong ;)
