I am new to Linux gaming, but I after messing around with winex, warcraft3, and the new UT04 demo, I have decided Linux is not the best gaming platform out there. It runs my counterstrike server amazingly well, but I will use Linux for what it does best, it makes a great desktop environment to do work. I can run my office applications via wineX if I need to, but mainly it is a server platform. I will run my DNS, Mysql, apache web farms, and mail services on Linux based servers. Thus replacing all externally visible windows servers.

My personal experience is, that it takes a lot more time to get a game work with linux. There is just a small number of native linux games and an even smaller number of good native linux games that can compare to modern games that were written for platforms like MS. In my opinion, WineX just works for a short number of quite old games. All in all the number working games to choose from is incredibly low, compared to other platforms. And the number of games with good sound and graphic is even a whole lot lower. I tend to say you can count them on one hand. My personal conclusion: Playing with the linux operating system can be a lot of fun, but having fun playing games just to play the game (not to worry about where to get it from and how to get it working) is very limited.
