[wellylug] Linux Gaming

[Ilia Pavlenko]

In Linux I successfully played:

all major ID games (dooms/quakes) - native,
Red Faction (demo) - in WineX - perfect,
Tribes 2 (demo) - ok, reasonable, occasional glitch
Tiberian Sun in WineX (sloooowwwww, but works)
FreeCiv (as mentioned before)
TuxRacer :)))

main problem - if a game requires latest DirectX it probably won't run in
Wine.

I also have "blin-linux" CD-based distro that boots from CD and has
UT2003(demo) on it.
