For those who are interested. It seems to work ok however some of the 
games are quite large to down load. Team Fortress 2 took 5 hours to 
download as it is over 12 gigs. I then copied most of the files over to 
another machine to save downloading again on that machine. There are 
lots of free games and other that you can purchase.

There is one issue with the install I found out. You have to make an 
install directory for flash. See here for a work around.
