But not everyone can afford to have a second computer to play games on :} That said, there's something to be said for buying a 4-year-old (approx.) used Pentium system and turning it into a dedicated Linux system and using your modern system exclusively for Windows. That's what I have (well... I bought the aforementioned Pentium when it was new, also). Other than having occasional IP Masquerading issues you will have no trouble. But using portfw in the 2.2 kernel I haven't yet run into a masquerading problem I cannot solve...
