Unreal Anthology and Linux
I spent a little bit of time getting my Unreal Anthology pack to work under Ubuntu 7.04. This pack only has the windows installer whereas some of the individual games had linux installers. If you don't have a linux installer this may help you. So far I’ve only tried Unreal Tournament 2004, or 2k4.

Here are the steps I followed to get it working:

1. Install Unreal Tournament in Windows and copy the install directory over to your linux machine. You may be able to use WINE to install the game if you do not have Windows.
2. Download the linux patch for the game and extract it into your game directory. You can get a copy of the patch on the Files Page.
3. You need to copy some libraries to your UT2004/System directory.
   1. You need openal.so and libSDL-1.2.so.0.
   2. I found libSDL-1.2.so.0 in my /usr/lib dir.
   3. I had to apt-get install libopenalpp-cvs1 and then cp /usr/lib/libopenalpp.so.1.0.0 to openal.so in my UT2004/System dir.
   4. Apparently you should use libopenal.so.0 instead. But it worked for me.
4. Create a file in your UT2004/System called CDKey with your anthology cd key.
5. Run UT2004/System/ut2004-bin and enjoy.

If anyone wants me to try and get the other games working let me know and I can try that.

I found how to do this from these websites:
Some forum with most of the useful info.
An Ubuntu forum which I used to find where to get openal and get that working (the openal instructions from the above link didn’t work for me).
