If you're going to have a Windows PC on your network, why not make that the "games machine" and play the games at it. Or are you saying that more than one Linux box can connect simultaneously and either play the same game or different games? -- Blessings Wulfmann Wulf Credo: Respect the elders. Teach the young.

[ubuntu-uk] Running Cutting Edge Windows PC Games on Linux Machines
Interesting in the newest computer games but can't run them because you're on Linux? Stream My Game now allows for a Windows gaming PC to stream it's output and accept input from a Linux based PC. Basically, this means you can set up a headless Windows box on your home network, put your cutting edge games like Crysis / Quake 4 etc onto this 'server' PC, and access them from your Linux based PC. The video I link to shows a guy running cutting edge games in this manner on an Asus Eee PC. Demonstration video here -> http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/06/17/crysis_on_eee_pc/ Product website here -> http://www.streammygame.com/smg/index.php Cheers Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
