Games Linux gaming. Let's face it - it's terrible. Tux Racer? Please. Quake III, okay, I'll give you that. NeverWinter Nights? If you can get it to work. WINE? If you have enough hair left to pull out, WINE is a good choice.

what linux gaming needs...

1) easy to use packaging/installer system

--> whatever happened to LokiSetup?

2) compatibility across distros (e.g. file locations, where to put menu items, etc)

3) easy-to-install 3D and hardware accelerated drivers

--> hmm somehow this is related to #1

i guess when these are addressed, more and more game developers will step up to the plate ;) i mean, it is attractive for the gamedevs that you don't spend anything on the OS, so you have a lot more money left to buy games, right? ;)
