[wplug] Why I choose Linux

[Coutch, Robert]

Great website for games! Thanks for the link!!

Of all the things computers can be used for, my favorite is still gaming.

BTW - Anyone try the Linux kit for the PlayStation 2 ?
      Sony sent me some info but it doesn't look like a good workstation
because of the 8Meg of RAM situation.

For more games, check out www.icculus.org, Ryan "icculus" Gordon did the
client port for UT2k3, a port of Americas Army client is being worked on,
as is Serious Sam 2 and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.  Of them all, I'd
say Americas Army is the most intresting as the game is free (as in beer)
(and also the best team-based game I've played since Tribes 1, so I'm a
little biased :).

And WineX is an evil program that kills off native ports.  
In what is the only non-joke article they have, there is a good list of
reasons at http://www.timedoctor.org/boycott_winex.php
