Beryl in Ubuntu Feisy repositories

I just did an update on my Ubuntu Feisty box and I saw beryl in the universe repository.

Tremulous: the best open source game I’ve played

For the past week I’ve been playing Tremulous, an open source game that blends a team based FPS (First-person shooter) with elements of an RTS (Real-time strategy). Its based on the Quake3 engine and the graphics are superb!

Getting and installing Tremulous

Linux users can download this package and run sh tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run to install.
Ubuntu users can install it via apt-get

apt-get install tremulous

Windows users, use this.
Theres a Mac OS X version too, get it here.
