I'ma  big RTS fan too. Spring was kind of a hassle last time I played
it. It took a lot of effort to actually get to _playing_, and the play
experience was decidedly unfinished. Ended up feeling like it wasn't
worth the effort. Supposedly it's come a long way since then though,
and is on my list of things to try out again.

My RTS favs on Linux are (in order of preference):

OSS (all available from Ubuntu repos):
Warzone 2100
Glest
BOS Wars
Globulation 2

Commercial:
Starcraft (via wine/crossover/cedega)
Tribal Trouble
Warcraft 3 (via wine/crossover/cedega)
