Um, UT2003 sucks.  UT2004 is much better.

And it plays perfect in Linux.
        

Unreal and UT2003 are different things Unreal is a single player game,
and not available for Linux.

I beg to disagree... Please take a look at 
http://www.icculus.org/~chunky/ut/unreal/ ;)

    

I think the person was referring to Unreal II (Unreal 2003) the link
refers to a "hacked" version of the original Unreal using the UT99 Linux
client to play Unreal.  AFAIK nobody had done a similar hack to use the
UT2K3 client to play Unreal II.

UT2003 != Unreal II, besides NOWHERE in the message it said Unreal II (I don't mean to be rude, it just caught my eye)... Anyway, I don't think it is possible to run Unreal II through the Linux port of the Unreal Engine 2 (Second generation Unreal Engine, I mean)... Thought it'd be interesting just to see if it is possible (I personally did not like Ureal II, even less being the big fan I am of Unreal I, so... hehe)

Gaming is possible in Linux with Wine or Cedega, if you have the right hardware (i.e nVidia is the most compatible video card chip brand for cross gaming, ATi's getting there, but still lacks some). I personally am a transgaming subscriber because of that... I'm not ashamed of that, I'm ashamed of developers who are lazy enough just to make sure they're games will work at BEST with Cedega... I better stop there, since once I start, I have a hard time to refrain... LOL.
