I have TWO Linux distros on my PC - Mandrake Linux 9.0 and Lycoris Desktop LX (build 46).

If not for all the dang Windows games, I'd chuck Windows out the, uh, window.

I did once get GTA3 to run in Mandrake using WineX, but with a dreadfully slow framerate.

BTW, a great resource of 'how to do stuff' can be found on Google Groups. Look under alt os linux - there are several specific distros. I've found mass quantities of useful info in the mandrake group.

Well wine takes up 30% system resorces (on normal apps) . I forget which speed desk top this was rated on. Tho this a little older stat. If you have a realy new pc, and lots of ram (me 2800 xp processer, with 1 gig pc3200 ram) would handle most games now with wine. tho I still run win 2000. Goign to convert my athlon 650 to a strignt linux box soon. Got some dev work want to do.
