Hello again!

I just want to tell you that I just downloaded and installed  
SDL on Linux without any problems whatsoever.  
Don’t you just love Linux! 🙂

And are those demos nice or do they just kick ass!  
Especially warp, water, plasma and xflame convinced  
me that this stuff really _works_. I haven’t got around  
to compiling a new kernel in Linux so I haven’t heard  
the audio support yet… But I just want to say to  
y’all (especially Sam Lantinga) - good work!

Cheers–
