What is the newest UoX for linux, and where can i get it. the one I do see if for windows. Short of having to edit and compile the Open source, I don't see anything new for linux. I did get and "old" linux version, didn't know if there was anything new.
Please help

The source should compile fine under either Windows or Linux. It is assumed, given the number of distros, that Linux people have the skill and capability to compile the source for themselves. You shouldn't need to edit the source before compiling, last I heard, it was linux compile clean out of the box.

Compiling source packages for linux is fairly easy, just make sure you have the development packages installed so that you have gcc, and make and friends, then from the top level directory of the unpacked source archive, if there is a file called configure that is set executable, you want to do ./configure && make && make install (note make install must be run as root), if there isn't, the just go make && make install, assuming all dependancies are met, it should compile and install w/o problem.
keep in mind, these are general instructions, look at the packaged docs for anything linux specific
