Gaming stuff might get more notice if posted in the gaming forum.  Or, then again... maybe not?

Cool news for Linux users. I've long said that pretty much the only thing keeping me on Windows is that I can't play my games on Linux. This is quickly becoming a non-issue. :Thmbsup:

Humble Bundle has gotten a lot of Indie games to come to Linux. Steam for Linux has made some vast progress in that regard. And now (or soon, rather) GOG.com joins the ranks. :Thmbsup:

I think the announcement is platform specific enough that it's more properly posted here, but I could see posting a link in gaming forum too.

However, it's generally considered bad etiquette to cross-post in a forum so... ;)

Wow, GOG for Linux?  If I understad the zeitgeist of GOG, it's to offer older games, right?  So will we see these classics resurrected for newer distributions?  Sweet!
