Re: Ubuntu 'reaping Linux dividend'

still yet to test this out but now it says I can instill it under windows and looking into this or maybe running one of the live CDs.

My only worry is if I can get some of my games to run properly

You can for Windows - just use a .exe emulator

A few games have a native Linux port (some listed here, inc the UT series), some will run under Wine (windows 'emulator'), more will run under the non-free Cedega. But most won't run on Linux
