Hi all, I have been doing Linux only gaming get together's for several years now. I can't really call these events a "Lan Party" given how many of us actually attend, 3-4, buts its fun and we collaborate on other stuff too. We play native games like:
Quake3 +mods Quake2 +mods Quake +mods Doom3 +mods UT +mods UT2004 + about 10 or 12 mods Racer Of these in a single evening we may play 2 or 3 at most. for those interested in learning about more game titles just goto www.liflg.org .

If anybody is interested in Fragging with us please let me know. I have wanted to do a "Linux_only_Lan_Party" for years. I used to host a yearly event up at Slavelake called [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eighty to a hundred players over a long weekend at Northern Lakes College. The students from the CompTech program would provide Winderz user support and setup the lan. I provided the servers and admin. Certainly it was no Fragapalooza but It was awesome just the same.
