I was wondering if you can run games like GRAW, counter strike, BF2, doom3 on a linux system.

If these game can be run on linux can someone give tell how to do it.

also what would be a good linux build to download.

thanks

As far as I am aware PC games are not compatible with Linux.

I suggest PCLinuxOS as a good distro of Linux, very stable and very customizable. As far as gaming goes though, Linux runs into a lot of snags though it can be done. Doom3 is actually Linux-friendly from what I remember (don't play the game myself) and with the help of Cedega (http://www.transgaming.com/products/cedega/) you can run even more. The only downside to that is Cedega requires a monthly fee, kinda defeating the point of Linux. I dual boot to avoid this problem, using XP for gaming only and PCLOS for schoolwork and just general web browsing.

Ditto
There is also Wine, free.

yeh as a general rule, a game written for windows wont run on llinux..but chances are someone will have written a patch for certain games...so ul have to look around online to make sure certain games work
