- * [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28560 Arch]
- * [https://bugs.launchpad.net/getdeb.net/+bug/543277 Ubuntu]

-=== Compiling on Linux and OS X ===
-
-You need two files:
- * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz 0ad-unix-build.tar.xz] (6 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-build.tar.bz2 0ad-unix-build.tar.bz2] (8 MB)
- * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz 0ad-unix-data.tar.xz] (92 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07413-pre-alpha-unix-data.tar.bz2 0ad-unix-data.tar.bz2] (106 MB)
