i was really sad the other day when i went to fry's to grab some books and i thought i would stop by the linux section as small as it is, and check out the linux games. the last time i did this there were like 7 or 8 to choose from, but this time there were none. they had pulled all of them =(. for the first time in my linux experiences i had 3d hardware acceleration, and have been playing Q3, UT, SOF demo and the Rune demo. all the games that i love to play in winblows and can now play in linux. but it seems as though i cant just run down to my local retailer and pick up a box of linux joy. so my point is put me down for SOF, Rune / Minrover Bundle, and Deus Ex when released. Sorry for the excess i just had to vent. slr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn T.
