All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.
Well, I once bought about 4 CDs of free games to Linux... Including those what cost much for PC, but are free for Linux...
When your running linux on your PC, its still a PC. you see what i'm saying.
Its funny how these days when we say PC, we meen a PC with Windows on it. For example many games say on them PC CD-ROM. Not windows cd-rom. Well its a strange world we live in.

But there're some games having win95 logo on the box.
I just checked many linux games at MobyGames.
Wow. Quake 3 arena was ported to Linux. Too bad I didn't see Half-Life to Linux.

I stick with both operating systems. A good kernel canna be responsible for the crap, marketing and product placement guys make - as is regarding to Windows. the latest versions of it are really good and cool in handling, as is with linux.
Each of the two has its use for me: windows for php development, graphic design, web design and surfing (MS ie6 and successors have with out any doubt a fine html and css rendering), and linux for programming, debugging, server thingses - NAT and firewalling and samba file/printer sharing not to mention.
I still carnt belive any one would call Linux expencive over Windows? Is this so in america. I just carnt belive it. It's extortion on the distributions part. Especialy seems they dont pay for a thing they include.
If you go to the store and buy a box o' Linux, you also get technical support and paper manuals. The CDs themselves are worth about a dollar. So, if I spend $90 on Redhat 8.x, I'm getting technical support for however long for $89. Or, I could just make a 3.5 floppy image of the installation front-end and a reliable internet connection and perform a remote installation for relatively.... free!!!! Notice that this doesn't require a functioning CD drive (which I didn't have at the time).
