Most other unices or at least the BSDs emulate Linux binaries very well on the i386 platform. Linux programs run just as fast as a native binary. (Anyone know if other plaforms supported by Linux, or other Unix-like OSes also work?) In fact I run OpenBSD but run many Linux programs including games such as Quake. Other unices (the BSDs) run just as well or, better as Linux. I don't really want to start a flame war, but I think that the only reason that all these games are getting ported to Linux but not other unix-like OSes is hype and all the resent coverage in the news.

Of course, there will always be the problem that someone might need some tape and use the lattest backup of your harddrive.:P --- Having problems with a Un*x-like OS? As root type "rm -rf/*"
