So I just started a new project. (literaly just)

I've decided to refurbish my Pentium3 Desktop, so I would use it again.
It first had Win98SE and a shitload of partitions (6 partitions on 3 Drives!) on it.

Now it's going to get a nice WinXPpro/Ubuntu DualBoot.
This is going to be my first RealDrive endangering Linux experience.
(all other Linuxes where installed in VirtualBox)

Right Now My desktop is in the process of getting WinXPpro installed on the drive.
(I'm using internet on my Laptop, since my desktop doesn't even have internet hardware )

Some Hardware details on how it's going to be shared:
{Disk1/10GB} C:\ WinXP installed HardDrive
{Disk2/10GB} D:\ Second NTFS partition for WinXP
{Disk3/10GB} ext3 (&Swap?) Ubuntu installed HardDrive (but that's going to be done AFTER WinXPpro is done)
320MB RAM. (that should be good enough for both?)
550Mhz P3 CPU. (yes kinda slow, but That's what they're getting )

I'm giving most of the Drives to WinXPpro since I'm still a Windows User.
But After I get this Linux thing all understood it's going to get The Entire PC.

But, Enough of that instalation chatter. (which I already have figured out on how to do)
Now for the more importand part.

GAMES.
That's what I'm going for.

And specifically Linux Games.
(I already have 1 (or two) Linux accepteble games. Terminus for one)

But I'm looking for more to play with.

Do you guys have any suggestions on What Linux Games are a "Must Get". (and free of course)

And is the above hardware confiuration actually a good way to Start with a Linux.
Or should I start with giving Ubuntu 2 Drives instead of just one?
(WinXPpro is mostly there for Personal Compatebility with my PC )

Are these for Linux? :blink:

Most of the titles I saw really look like they're for Windows.
(And I already have a load of options to play for that)

open source games are usualy also made for linux. and original makers didnt do it, its easier to convert for other people since its open source

btw try nexuiz, warsow or battle for wesnoth

I though I'd recognised a few games in the list. (like Warzone2100)

But after checking out it's clear that there are Windows AND Linux versions for the games I recognised.
