About Linux and Games


I have just recently switched from the Gay ass Windows XP to Red Hat. I'm really into gamming and I was wondering if a game that works on OSX will work on linux????

Not right out of the box, though you may be able to find a utility for it, since it's based on *NIX as well...

Yes. When you install the correct drivers and download and install Wine or WineX and all should be good

For games WineX will work much better, and no, it won't let you play all your windows games, but a good number of them, check the winex (transgaming) website to see what games work well, and even those that don't, will in the future.
