Fedora Games comes in a live DVD and the whole idea is to demonstrate the gaming potential of Fedora without altering user’s existing configuration. Fedora Games can be installed in your hard disk or portable USB flash drive.
In order to run Fedora Games, you need to download the disc image and burn it on a DVD. You can then boot from the DVD and start playing.
My 2 cents: Linux is good at its own, but unfortunately gaming isn’t one of them. They havae a huge list of small games for Linux, but nobody is interested in producing brilliant games like Bioshock or Manhunt 2 for the open source community. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I occasionally play CounterStrike and Team Fortress 2 on Ubuntu 7.10 with a little help from WineX. The problem is that playing Windows games on Linux isn’t as efficient as it is on Windows.
Of course, there are plenty of Linux exclusive games like Battle for Wesnoth and Tremulous. Have you tried them?
