Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory on Ubuntu Linux Jaunty Jackalope 9.04

I'm not much of a gamer, but one game that I do enjoy playing is Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. The following are the steps I took to get Enemy Territory installed and fully updated to version 2.60b (including all Punkbuster updates) on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04. These instructions will work on more distros than just Ubuntu, but you may have different results depending on hardware/software setup. Please be sure to research all of your options before following this or any other tutorial.

Get Dropbox Working on Ubuntu Jaunty Beta

I recently updated my main machine to Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 beta. The version of Dropbox I had with Intrepid stopped working after the update. To get it to work I performed the following steps in the terminal. (The following steps work on x86. For x86_64, the steps will be the same, but using different files):

1. Download and install Dropbox deb (32 or 64 bit) for Intrepid if you don't already have it running. (Note: Don't restart Nautilus)

Forwarding X over SSH

Often I want to do some quick administration on a box of mine but don't really feel like running a VNC session (aka slow) just to do it. That's where forwarding X comes in real handy. Our prerequisites are 1) an understanding of what SSH and X Windows is/does 2) having those tools at your disposal, and 3) the remote machine must be able to forward X.

Say for instance on our remote machine there is an X application that we want to run on our local machine without needing VNC. Well, first, fire up the terminal. We want to SSH (secure shell) into our machine.
