// Requirements for Joining the Community //

Must use a Linux, Unix, or BSD-based Operating System
Must play a minimum of 2 games on said OS.
Must have some decent knowledge of Wine or willing to learn

// Mission Statement and Information Regarding the Community //

The reasoning behind the forming of this community was to expand the minds of those who are uninformed or naive towards gaming on this free and open source operating system. Linux has huge potential for a gaming platform for many reasons. One of which is its ability to be changed in any form and its modular ability.
This is a group not meant for profit or anything other then informing a non-informed community.
To join, all you need to do is post in this thread with the games you play and your operating system of preference.

// How to Join the Community //

To join, simply post in this thread with the following information. Your account name, operating system (include window manager if you would like to), and simply the games that you play.
Joining has no fees and all you have to do is include the tag in your signature.

Mebby · 09-14-07

I'm all for games for Linux/Mac. I just don't run a none Windows operating system on my games machine since the choice on the latest high budget games is oh so small at the moment.
