I want to install some games on my linux pc...to add to its fun factor a little. What games are available for it? Does anyone know a website dedicated to good linux compatible games. Not necessarily new games either, ive been dying to play some oldschool doom and duke nukem 3d...
im running pclinuxos if it makes a difference. It is a KDE based distro, debian i think, it uses apt-get.
any help is great...
peace

Depending on what kind of unix system you have access to, it can also be fun to move a random user's MailDir on Friday afternoon or Monday morning.

I'd be a lot worse if I didn't love my job. 
The most I do now is hide traffic of sites I spend too much time on (like this one) from the proxy logs.

hehehe. I took on of those classes in college. Everyone in the lab installed some old version redhat on their desktops. They installed it from a manual the teacher gave them, so they all used the same root password. SSH was also enabled by default. And the default ssh install allowed root to directly login. Needless to say, I had some fun times sitting in the back of class. While everyone was learning to cd and ls, I was redirecting text to a few of their terminals, saying things like "To proceed, please insert one dollar into the disk drive." I try not to be a dick any more. But those where some good times!
