Linux and gaming

[oldhat]

Do you currently use this? If so, how stable / usable is it?

My draconian work firewall is only letting me learn from Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D)

Only know what I read about Gallium3D on forums & wikipedia, etc.

Regarding your work firewall, if you can access anonymouse.org or similar, you can access most sites - pm me if you need more info

Maybe it's time to logon to my desktop's linux boot again. Gallium3D looks interesting.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but a game that has been getting great reviews:

The graphics is amazing, best RTS on Linux by far.

Looks interesting, like an Age of Empires clone.

Most of these have been named before, but this just shows that they are not dead and development on them continues:

That awesome. It looks a bit like Rome instead of Age of Empires.

StarCraft 2 works 100% in Linux as well, just spend a few hours on it.

Follow this guide to get it perfect!

EDIT:
By spending a few hours on it I mean playing it for a few hours.

Where can one download this to give it a try? I cannot find a link to the game, or am I not looking hard enough?

100 free and high quality Linux games. I have tried most of them and there is a game to suite everyone's taste.

You will have to sift through the lot, I see they still mention Americas Army although they discontinued their Linux support for the game.
ENJOY!
