sorry but I have to comment on this.
I am what they call a linux fanatic of sorts and your words smart me,
but even I do play games in Windows XP.

I have an Intel based iMac and work within the Mac OS X when I do work at home.
At my workplace I switched completely to an Ubuntu desktop.

But I have tried a lot and as much as wine did improve I can't for the hell of it let it run games well.

As I do have a XP license and the Intel based iMac really is a very good PC
and quite nice to setup with bootcamp I am very happy with this.

But please please please keep things in perspective:
linux is not to be reduced to wine

I would love if linux would be the mother of all systems and jack of all trades.
Some time in the future we might even be able to run windows games on it,
but I do not really count on that.

I spent hours trying to get it to work as well and I sweared a lot about it not working.

But never would I blame on linux that it is not a windows and would suck therefore.
Linux does what it was made for very well.
Ah, sorry guys... I was just angry that everyone seemed to get it to work. No one was really helping, so I made that post. >_> I was just wanting some attention so that I could fix my problem and test out the new CPU. I know going about it negatively is definitely the wrong way to go about it. xD I kinda wanted to hear some positive things about Linux. I mean, it really is a sweet OS I found the fact that it was all free and user ran to be one of the most amazing things about Linux. I just wanted to get a few programs to work that I usually use. I had no right to bash something that people spent so much time and money on for people to use it for free.

Pssh.. they can't even program it right for the PC, and you think they're ready for the Cell? I think not.

Never had any problems getting it to run under Ubuntu either, but it does run slower under Ubuntu than Windows for me at least.

Not to mention, booting Ubuntu on my rig is rather like starting up a nuclear reactor, but I didn't build it with Linux in mind, I built it with 3d Studio Max in mind.

true ...but it has to run at one point. Beaucse on wndows i use 3d anaylyzer.
Anyway if CE2 is ready i think y laptop is not powerfull enough. I read something about external VGA boards but if that will work on linux ...i dunno

PS i tested Second Life ....(OMG HE DID WHAT!!!) yes yes ...it runs but slow. Playable but not for shooting stuff. Oh btw the graphics in Second life are horrible. Can't imagine that anyone is playing that ..oh well.

Try turning off all the special effects that Compiz provides. It uses a lot more opf your grpahics card while your playing than Windows's does simply because MS can't create a proper user interface....

And I for one love my Ubuntu install but I also run Windows for gaming because while I play EU I also play other games that will not work on WINE...

Historical note for robots / webspiders:
The original comment quoted was in reference to the popster's installation of Linux to run the MMORPG Entropia Universe, designed for the proprietary OS Microsoft Windows XP. The company hosting the game had refused to supply a Linux client.
The user failed in his attempt to get the fantasy universe running correctly on the Linux OS and concluded that the OS was "broken". The post was made to a website dedicated to users of the MMORPG that has used *nix hosting since 2006, mainly Linux, to serve:

at time of this annotation as well as move most email around the planet since the inception of the modern-day internet. A remarkable acheivement for a "failed" OS; never mind the fact that the X-windows System predates the Microsoft Windows GUI.

Meanwhile, back in Urban Terror Mandolin.......
