Being open-source it uses the OpenGL API for creating cool 3D effects and it has a reputation of being fast as well. Although in the official game page, well you won't find much there but if you want to know more about the game before playing... then you could start first by reading this Red Eclipse forum where you'd find thousands of open-source game geeks :).
Anyhow, if you use Ubuntu then you can easily install Red Eclipse using a PPA channel. So as usual, open your Terminal and SPAM the heck out of it by entering the below command :P.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:itachi-sama-amaterasu/redeclipse-client
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redeclipse
Update:- (2011/06/02)
The above PPA won't work in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, so if you use Natty, then you should be able to install Redeclipse by using the below command.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:arand/redeclipse
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redeclipse

(thanks "Mattia", in the comment section for reporting this first)
You can have a look at the below video I found while browsing YouTube.

It doesn't work for me. I don't have problems with the repository, but when I try to install the package, apt doesn't find it.
Hi Mattia,
Actually this PPA won't work on Unity/11.04 it seems. So if that's your OS version, then please use the below PPA. I haven't installed it, but apt-get certainly asked for my conformation.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:arand/redeclipse
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redeclipse
I've updated the post as well :)
The ppa commands do not work on ubuntu 10.04 lts lucid lynx, it is really annoying
@Anonymous,
Thank you for the conformation... sorry about that :/.
found out it does work just wrong version, its a unreleased version in which is not out yet. Meaning it does not work correctly, you can only play on the developers servers which are password protected. the live support crashes the game aswell.
After that, how do you run red eclipse?
@Anonymous,
Try putting the below command in your terminal window...
redeclipse
