So, if these rumors should be true.. Is there any chance we'll get a native linux client for NS2? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Thanks for the link, it was a good read <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Im glad that Valve are starting to look at the Linux platform. From what I understand in the artichle (If its true, and I think it is) it should be fairly easy to convert a game that uses the native Source engine to be able to run on any Linux distribution.

    ... but if it isn't true... simply try Crossover Games!!

    It rocks on OSX and i'm sure it is the same on Linux.

    Most games works great in Wine and alike, but there's always some glitches in newer games and shaders tends to be buggy as well. You are not sure if you are playing the game as the developers intended it.
