Absolutely! The developer (Thee Mann) calls it "Hearty Hotrod". I haven't
done much with the 32 bit version, but I found the 64 bit version easier to
work with following these steps:
1. Install
2. Install the updates from the update icon (top left of screen)
3. Configure video drivers from EnvyNG in the Applications > System Tools
menu, and then bring up the Compiz icon to configure that (same menu)
4. Run the Update icon, choose either normal or gamer edition - both of them
have "Wine Doors" installed, but the gamer edition includes Nexuiz, America's
Army, and more FOSS games as well. Choose to listen to the music, and
Timidity midi player will also be installed
5. Enjoy!
Note that on the 64 bit version than there is no 64 bit Flash, and some 64
bit drivers (esp. wireless) aren't quite ready yet.
That being said, I hope that the CLI types here aren't too offended with
my "Drag 'n' Drool" instructions! I love dropping into the CLI every now and
then, myself!
