how do you install games on linux?

[techieMoe]

Could you be more specific? What genre of games are you talking about here? Are you looking for free or commercial?

well games like starcraft and bg2, just games you would normally be able to nstall on windows.

Linux is NOT Microsoft Windows. It's a completely different OS with its own software. Asking how to install a MS Windows game on Linux is like asking how to play Halo on a Gamecube; they just aren't compatible.

That being said, there are a few hacks you can do that might let you play a few of your MS Windows games on a Linux box. The free one is WINE. The commercial option is Cedega. My personal suggestion is that if you're that interested in playing Microsoft Windows games, set up a dual-boot system and just run those games in Windows. They'll run much better, every time.

I'm not sure what you mean. There is a Linux-native version of Quake 4, downloadable from here:

However it requires that you have a retail boxed copy of Quake 4 for Windows, much like the Linux version of Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

What? The retail boxed version of Quake 4? You buy it.
