It takes a lot of space (TB ?), is slow to install and I have found that 
64 bit OS and it doesn't play nice. The 64 bit bug may be fixed but I'm 
not wasting my time.

Other than that, my son has been happily playing away on Linux Mint 14 
Nadia 32 bit on a 500 GB disk, Nvidia GFX8800, AMD Phenom X3 with 4 GB 
ram.   He plays Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor, Half Life (multiple 
titles) and Natural Selection 2. He uses it daily for about 6 months.
