Teamspeak 2.0 Beta for Linux
September 25th, 2002 by JudeccaSeveral people sent in word that Teamspeak has released a Linux client release candidate of their online voice over IP kit.
Today we release the release candidate 1 of the linux client. It weighs a hefty 15 MB, because we had to add a complete binary qt2 library in order to ensure that this client will run on every linux target we support. It has all functions that the windows client has, EXCEPT for all the key interception routines. That means there are no push-to-talk or key-bind capabilities. This will be added later, if possible.

… it works (actually the installer choked 100 ways, but extracting the app by hand was fine).
As a general net-telephony app how well does it fare — say if I just wanted to chat to linuxoid gamers?

does X actually allow them to hook into keypresses without having keyboard focus? If so i’m sure they’d like to know how

The Linux client seems to be 8,5 Mb and not 15 Mb as they say :-?

Many people participate in online multi-media gaming on the Alpha architecture; such as myself and…myself.
We gamers would appreciate a release or I will code a better-designed, GPL’d, Voice-Over-IP client and server, and release it so the public so all architectures of computers may be supported. There is no excuse for Teamspeak to not be available on other computing platforms; X86 is not the focus of the market, so show so code ethics or is Teamspeak non-GPL because it is realy shodily-designed, poorly-functional, non-portible, inneficient, spy-ware that was ported from Microsoft Windows (MFC and VBasic). This is sad and funny at the same time…poor programming ethics.
flame away…(hookup!)
