You can get native GNU/Linux versions of Doom, Quake, Quake II, Quake III and Marathon (a great FPS from the Mac). Of these, Doom, Quake and Marathon are now GPLed, and are still under active open-source development. You can get all kinds of interesting modifications that were never possible when they were closed-source. Quake II and III are still closed-source, but they can be bought very cheaply at GNU/Linux stores. Loki (http://www.lokigames.com) have a bunch of good games for GNU/Linux. If you intend to use WINE, it is a good idea to have a Windos installation so that WINE can use the Windos drivers. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan.
