Yea- I also had a chance to install and start up Open Arena. Again- I didn't
have time to rally play it. The games starts and I moved around a bit. Looks
like it is working. The trouble is unless you play for a while you don't know
how well it actually works. It could crash, etc at some point in the game.
We based our call on selling an NVidia PCIe graphics card largely on various
experts in this area (from kernel developers to the guys testing games,
graphics cards, and drivers). They consider it sufficiently stable and ready
for use.
It may not work with all games although it should work with at least many
games. This is why we would like to get a list compiled of games that are
compatible. Ideally users could then click a link to see details on the
games, screen shots, etc and then another link to install. Newer debian
derived distributions have a plugin called apturl included. It lets you can
programs from the repository to be installed.
It is a really great feature.
