We usually provide Linux binaries through each individual distro. We used to
maintain statically built generic binaries, but they proved to be a bit
resource intensive to maintain, mainly due to challenges in finding and
using the correct OpenGL libraries on each install. That's possible to fix,
but again requires significant resources. The best solution in the interim
is to find packages for your distro, or build from source.

If you're using Ubuntu, there's a PPA, and I forgot to upload the new version to
it. Whoop de doo. I'll get to it later today.
