Linux Games????
now i know that linux machines are made for power, stability, configurability, etc. .... but i mean come on .... i love coding as much as the next guy, but why not play a i lil on the side? i looked around for counter strike on linux and found only a server for linux .... my question is .... are there any worth while, fun, or "popular" games ported to linux?

Quake 3, America's Army, RTCW: Enemy Territory, Neverwinter Nights all run natively.
WineX can be used to run many others. Games I've run with it include Diablo 2, BF1942, and THPS3. MANY more run with it though, I am jsut not a huge gamer

is it possible to make WineX run counterstrike? i have never played the game before since i am not a big gamer but i've heard it is very fun and a friend of mine is hosting a lan party at his house for counterstrike and i would like to participate (not as a server)
also ... where can i find WineX for free??? i couldn't find it at sourceforge

When I tried it there were some problems playing over a LAN/internet though. Transgaming's site has instructions on getting winex by CVS, then you've got to compile it yourself. I don't think the CVS version supports things like pb though.
The best Linux game site I know is: www.happypenguin.org
they have a big database of games with links, reviews and screenshots.

Yeah me too. But I once played with psDoom on my server, and severly screwed things up. I needed a reboot to fix it. 
That was for processes. I'd hate to think of what I could screw up with files. I think I'll personally steer clear of stuff like that. Especially as ps, grep, kill, ls, locate and mv make it just as easy, without screwing stuff up.
