Ubuntu Ultimate is a great way to make people shift. It has codecs and all the necessary goodies and it's Ubuntu, which makes it all the lot easier.

Am downloading the non-gamer-specific, normal version though.

I just wish Linux have games like what windows are getting.

[blackpearl]

Are any of those games worth playing?
