Woh, talking about selling Linux short.  Yes, hardcore PC gamers (its
different than console gaming, not the same) are kind of limited with
Linux.  But ....

There are a few good linux games from Linux Game Publishing and
Transgaming does put out a few native ports and now Garage Games or
something like that is jumping into the fray.

This is not even going into the fact that ID and Half Life folks tend
to be pretty good about getting client ports  along with the game
servers.

Yeah, its all closed source pay 'em software but its not like the
gaming world is completely barren in Linux.

I want the hw acceleration I got from my video card to play
Wolfenstein 3-D for example and why not?
