This is a FSSCP question, btw... :nod:
At the moment, you should be able to download fs2_open and compile it-but from what I hear, the Linux port's 2d interface is pretty laggy, and I'm not sure that 3D works at all. :confused:

The last time I touched it (over a month ago) it was buggy and slow.  You can do some things with it, and even fly missions, but the framerate is very poor.

It's the calls to glDrawPixels that are killing the framerate.  There are other bugs as well...

fs2_open will compile w/ gcc 2.95; you also need the SDL library: http://www.libsdl.org
