I guess you havn't seen the games available for linux. Should I mention
quake? There are many others. Look in the back archives.
Try quake.greatland.net (or com...)
That is a 586 133 behind a SUNSparc10 (router/server) running linux and
playing quake. ITs also a quake server.
Its surprizing how a ~10 year old SUN can play quake fine.
Btw, the entire ISP www.greatland.net is run on SUNs. Other than the 586
(jared's computer) and a few macs in the lobby they are all Suns.
