Q. It didn't come with games and i am wondering what Linux games it will play, if any at all.
A. I believe one of the packages available is called "kde-games". Look for it. I enjoy the ace of penguins suite which mirrors the OLDE Windows 3.1 games -- taipei, freecell solitaire Merlin exccept the face cards all have penguins on them. I was playing canfield when I saw your question. Also of course, you'll have to look around but there are deb packages for quake quake2 and quake3 arena (maybe even quake 4) which games were originally written on a *nix network.
Is it possible to convert Linux games for Windows?
Q. I have a couple of simple games (not 3d) on Linux OS and I need to run them on Windows XP on the other computer. So would it be possible to make them run on Win OS?
A. Usually most Linux games have been ported to Windows. You can always install Ubuntu as a WuBi install on Windows so you can run any non-ported games on Windows (technically they would be running on Ubuntu but I won't sweat the details).
Is it possible to download Linux games on a Windows system to play on a different, Linux system, later?
Q. My Linux box doesn't have a connection to the internet and my Windows system does. I planned to download a Linux program from my Windows system to use on my Linux box.
A. Harry is right. Save it onto a floppy with vfat or a CD with a Joliet file system and you will have no problems. I had to deal with a corrupted Quake 1 disk the other day and I was told that it was looking for Joliet. Windows closes files with a control-z while *nix uses control-d but you will find that the OS does that conversion for you and you shouldn't have to worry about it unless the Linux install is badly botched on the target system.
