Does anyone knows if those games made for Linux can be played against someone using the versions made for Windows? A friend of mine is selling those babes really cheap, so I am planning to buy it. Have anyone tried?

Thanks

I beleive the answer is yes.
The servers all run linux and therefore the clients for both OS's games connect to a linux server so I'm definately going with yes

Quake3 and Unreal both detect on bootup what system your using.

I'd like to have the games for linux but they are more expenisve (if you buy at RRP) and I can't even afford the Win versions at the moment. I'll have to learn DB sharpish and program my own Quake 3

Ya know i got myself some WINE once... thought i'd install it into Linux - so i popped the cork and poured it in.
SUCESS, i shorted out the system

I always though it was called WinEx myself, but hey who cares hehee
