Any good games site for linux?

There's three main sites for Linux games, in my opinion:

TuxGames
The Linux Game Tome
Linuxgames

In addition, I suggest you add Thangorodrim to your bookmarks.

Thanks for the links

Yep, the Angbands are just as habit forming as Dom2 - man-months, pretender-years, of time stolen away.

wooohuu! My first setup, just manage to get 'Bit-torrent' as a application in Mozilla! ...nice feelings when you accomplished something

Question 1: Is it possible to "resume" the files you're downloading through bit-torrent?

Question 2: It seems that everytime I change OS my ISP asking for my username and password before I can use the web, is that normal?

Question 3: I've tried to install Dom2 in the linux OS, I follow the instruction that came in the note, but somehow I must do something wrong or the instruction is incomplete. Can someone please post a more specific way how to install Dom2 on a Linux (mandrake) OS?

I have that OS. If you tell me what you do and what happens I might be able to help you.

I need some advise: I know how to login as root in the consol but how do I login as root while I'm using KDE?
The problem is I want to install a program in /usr/local so every Users can use this program when they are logged in, but I get the "Error[-624]: Can't make the distination directory. Please try another directory".
It seems I can't change anything through KDE desktop if it needs root login :/

Open a terminal in kde and digit

su

this command login you as root (you need to provide the passord), than make the installation and exit

good luck

The read me file says: "Install SDL by copying SDL-1.2.X.pkg.tar.gz to your hard drive. Now
double click on it to decompress it. Now double click on the
resulting SDL.pkg file and the SDL installer should start."

I copied that file on my hard-drive (more specific: /home/<my user name>/Games/ )... I now choose to unpack it (right click, unzip here option)...now a folder appear called SDL.pkg. But how can it install itself doing double click on the folder? I've been searching through the SDL.pkg too see if I could find a file that allowed me to install Dom2.
What am I doing wrong?

God damnit!!!....I realized something!!! I've been looking on the wrong installation instruction!

DAng! *Kicks himself for making an arse out of himself*

The only thing that saved me was that I started using Dvorak keyBoards without numeric keypad (the Happy Hacking keyBoards) and it was too annoying to re-learn movement in Angband.
