I find myself with a strong urge to really get into this mod and kill some brain cells..... but alas I find their is no native linux port of Half life. Good news though, after a bit of fighting I did manage to get opengl support with winex cvs and now NS seems to be running at a reasonable speed.... most of the time... When the screen gets busy fps drop painfully slow at times. I'm starting to experiment with HL settings from previous posts with some sucess... need to write them down. I was wondering if anyone was aware of additional tweaking I can do to enhance preformance from the linux and wine side of things.
Thanks for reading.

Sadly enough I dont thinkt there are many NS-wine-linux users on these forums. I have had thoughts to try this, but have instead bought a powerful computer running windows that I use for games. My linux box is mainly for web-development, programming and such.
There should however be quite a few CS-wine-linux players out there. You should probably look around on any of the gazillion CS-forums...
Happy hunting!
There was an April fools done by a linux site once, but no client <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->.
The only tweaks that I know of:
- move all the .mp3 files somewhere else. [or rename them]
- put all the sound options to the lowest settings.
Anyway my athlon 1333 with wine averaged around 40 fps in most resolutions, dropping massively with large numbers of turrets.
My sound card kept hanging the system though <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->. [and the windows drivers aren't much better - creative sucks]
