Oolite-Linux has been accepted as a project at berlios.de
The project homepage for developers of this port will be here:

If you are working on the linux port (dajt, winston and you other folks), please register as a developer at

Say, the homepage
http://oolite-linux.berlios.de doesn't render correctly using Firefox under UbuntuLinux...
OTOH, using FF in OSX, it does????
just mentioning this, not really a problem for me, it just looks a bit clumsy

What a peak!
Is that because of the happypenguin entry some days ago?
(BTW... heh, I tried to enter Oolite myself, because it wasn't there yet... got the 'error' message there was already an entry in the pipeline (not published yet, though)
Looks like you beat me to it. Just!

Probably is because of Happypenguin. The increase started showing up right around the time it came on the front page. Unfortunately, it's about to fall off the end of the front page of Happypenguin, but hopefully we've got a few hundred new players in the meantime.
The berlios.de downloads are just part of the picture - ftp.alioth.net has also had 295 downloads of the rc4 installer since it was put there. Unfortunately rsync doesn't seem to keep any logs so I don't know how much the rsync updater has been used for older versions.

Strange thing is, the Windows port got even more hits in that timeframe, but fewer downloads... Dual booters?
Anyhow: in short time you'll be able to go drop the Beta stage and do and update on Happypenguin
EDIT: Heh, I just saw you reached STABLE!

I also put an announcement on Freshmeat (it only remained on the front page for about a day, FM is rather busy) which netted a couple of hundred more downloads. The FM announcement also includes a link to the Mac OS X package, so hopefully a few more Mac users got netted too.

And that's the reason I haven't gotten any sleep in the past few days. Thanks for porting this to Linux. I'm addicted to it after only a few successful cargo runs. We won't talk about the few dozen failed runs in the begining.

That's cos you have unleashed the grail of Elite gaming to an underground fan base the size of Lave's Orbital perigee.
