Possibly not the latest news, but it's cool none-the-less:
Heretic runs on Linux/FreeBSD!
I have a picture here (http://caos.siue.edu/modules/my_egallery/index.php?do=showpic&pid=67&orderby=dateD).
I can't get the sound or music servers to run on it right now, but I'll save that for later. Also, I plan to take over some of the source code to the project in the future since the current person doesn't seem to be maintaining it. I had to make a small source code change to get this working anyway.
Let me know what you think, and if you want the updated source code, wgrim@siue.edu.
