quake ii and quake iii both give from 10 to 40% higher frames on my machine 
than when it had win2k.  i recall the amounts, i do not recall the actuall 
rates in win.  i wiped it long ago and don't care.  diablo ii runs (unlike 
windows) without pauses between areas while the cd reads and i have played 
it online with ppl while they crashed and had to reload 4-5 times i ran one 
long game.  starcraft runs without the silly hitches it seemed to have for 
no reason.  i had a few other games that ran well sometimes better, but the 
games didn't last as i lost interest in them.

for what it is worth, i agree that there needs to be native games.  i 
disagree that wine will ruin atempts to do so.  i do think the linux 
desktop needs more air time to get it (ie there are far more users, i 
suspect, than most companies guess) but i have a hard time following this 
thread due to high insult factor (even when it is not aimed at you, life is 
too short to read too many "idiot", "moron", "lazy" and "jerk" comments.)
