Some general notes on Linux games: In Ubuntu (one of the distros you mentioned you were testing), you can go to Applications ->Software center -> type "games" into the search box to browse. You can also have a look at getdeb.net, which has a number of aptitude-packaged games available for Ubuntu. <--those are all installable with one click. I'm not as familiar with openSuse, so I won't comment on that. Of course, there is also the option to install windows games using Wine (which is a compatibility layer to run a number of Windows programs under Linux) but results will vary depending on the game you have chosen. It is also possible to download games from developers site or elsewhere on the web. These may come in a compressed format and need to be compiled from the command line. Though I can't imagine there would be any games for linux archived in the 7z format, unless it is a collection of flash games or something else downloaded from bittorrent. But I am certainly no expert on that. Not an expert on much, for that mater. :) ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
