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.
