“I am one of the support technicians for Loki Entertainment
Software. This afternoon I received a message on my voicemail to
call “Nick”–name changed to protect the victim–who was having
trouble starting CivCTP for Linux on his Pentium III RedHat 6.0
system.”
“When I called him back, he thanked me for my quick response and
said that he was new to Linux and wasn’t sure if he’d installed the
game right. He then said, “This machine is going to used for…
well, I’m a Microsoft employee and my group is doing a usability
study on Linux…“
“At this point I pointed out to him that CivCTP came with a
graphical install script, conveniently labeled “install” and placed
in the same directory as the tarball. And in fact, in that same
directory was a text file labeled “README” that explained how to
run the install program.”
