Hey,
I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my Laptop, it's dual-boot with xp.
I'm going to do the same with my gaming pc in the next days. While my reasons for going the Linux route don't have much to do with gaming, I'm curious wether there are any good, playable games out there that I would have previously missed due to using Windows pretty much exclusively. Obviously I'm not talking about card games or the next tetris clone, but rather decent rpgs, strategy/tactical games, fps, sims or... well, basically whatever you can throw at me, as long as it's in a fairly complete state and is nothing I'd have come across on XP. I've been scaning some linux gaming sites, but the games mentioned there usually seem to be in some kind of alpha state, with a lot of them vaporizing a few months later.
So, linux-geeks, how about giving me some links and descriptions to your favorite linux-exclusives?
