any good linux games?
 

something simple would be best as i've only got dialup :)
but are there any good games out there floating around.
i'd prefer strategy, but RPG or a bit of action is fine! :)

He said he uses dial-up. I don't think he's going to download a 260 MB file on his modem.

I used to do it lol.. Thats how I donwloaded my first Linux distribution (all 3 CD's).. It took me like a week just to download 1 of them.

i'll deal with 260mb as long as i can continue downloads after i get d/c.. i've just handed in my last uni assignment and need something to pass the time until exams!

Any word on whether or not HL2 will be ported to Linux?

It won't be any time remotly soon.

didn't the source get leaked?? someone on here was playing with it and had it compiling in *nix. just need to reroute directx modules i think he was saying... will be very interesting if it gets released before HL2 winblows version :)

My question is, will network compatability be achieved...

Probably Valve is going to make a server port for HL2 and neglect to make a client, just like they have done with every other Valve product before. So the Linux community, which is a hungry market and full of very potential customers, will remain an untapped resource for Valve.
