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.

All this talk about Linux being such a slow gaming platform compared to Windows...
What I really find ironic is that Star Wars Galaxies (sort of the only game except Diablo 2 I play on the computer) running with Cedega is way faster than when I run it natively on Windows (XP) on the same computer. It is smoother and lags less at 1440x900 with hight detail textures compared and more higher detail options than the chunky chop chop disklag I get in Windows at 1280x1024 with low detail textures.
I actually laughed the first time I started up the game from Linux
