OK, Well... I have had it with Windows. I need some help switching to Linux. I downloaded Back Track and would like to set it up to use the following. 1. Ventrillo 2. Steam - CS, Left 4 Dead 2, MLB2k, Grand Theft Auto, MW 2... etc. These 2 items are the only things that have kept me from switching completely to Linux. Not sure if it matters, but here is my setup? i7 BFG GTX285 OCFU 6 gigs mem Any thoughts or suggetstions to start me in the right direction would be great! Thanks!
The best advice I could give to is to keep windows for the games. It will never be as good on linux as on windows.

VentrilloYou might want to give Mangler a try ( http://www.mangler.org/ ). It is linux native and is supposed to connect to vent servers.> 2. Steam - CS, Left 4 Dead 2, MLB2k, Grand Theft Auto, MW 2... etc.A good place to start would be the wine application database ( http://appdb.winehq.org/ ). There you can do a search for Steam and find the page dealing with getting Steam itself running in wine. After that you can do searches for the games you want and see what needs to be done for them. You can also search there for Vent if you want to get the windows version running through wine.
