Thanks for the intel on participating in beta. I just emailed in... hope I'm added to the list. Thanks for your replies to me previously, Keith.

AtomicGaryBusey @ Desura Linux Development - Downloads and Bug Fixes

Dude, dude, dude!!! I've been on Desura for a little while, since PAX 2010 at least, but I had no idea you were porting the client to Linux. Kudos to you for sending out a newsletter to my email address with a big old "LINUX" enticement in it otherwise I'd never have known. Even the fact that you're thinking about it makes me waaaayyyyy more inclined to spend money with you guys.

This really makes me stoked. I've always tried to be a Linux gamer but it's so incredibly tough... I remember being awake for three days straight trying to get Mesa installed correctly on a fresh Debian system back in 2004, just to run Quake. I was sporting an ATi card back then and the drivers alone were a bitch to deal with, then you toss the damnable AGP gart incompatibilities in... I think it took me about two weeks of solid hacking before I could actually play 10 minutes straight of Quake 1.

Now we jump forward to today and I see the wonderful work you're doing. Thank you! I really do appreciate it!

It does make the SysAdmin in me cringe to see homedir installation and binary installers, but if that's what it takes to get into my hands quickly then so be it. I do see you've added a devnote to make paths configurable, which is stellar. Any chance of adding one so us Gentoo nuts can configure, make, make install like we all love via a src package? :D
