Setting up a Linux box doesn’t mean you are limited to the few games that have been released to run on Linux, there are other alternatives. One of the most familiar is WINE, which sets up a translation layer allowing you to run Windows programs, successfully most of the time even. There are choices specifically designed to get you gaming on Linux and of course there is always the multiple OS solution. Check out Linux.com to see how to become less productive with your Linux box.
