Well, you have to make sure that the game you are downloading is completely compatible with linux at all. Make sure that whatever website the game is that you are downloading, includes that it does support linux computers.

What is a Linux distribution?

A Linux Distribution (distro) is lika a flavour. For example: You can go to a dairy bar and ask for ice cream, but you need to specify which kind of ice cream. Chocolate ice cream, strawberry, bubble gum, etc... You can run Linux, but you need to pick a specific type of Linux such as Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora Core, Gentoo, Debian, Slackware, etc.. Different distros are generally suited for different things. There are desktop distros like Ubuntu and Mint, that are focused on end users and doing your day to day stuff like browsing the internet, writing a report for work or school or MSNing your friends. Some Linux distros are meant for running servers. These would be things like RedHat, Debian and Slackware. These will run your company website or an email server.


Computer with 700mhz 32 mb graphics 25 gb hard disk 256 mb ram working on windows xpwill ubuntu work in this computerWill games work in Ubuntu?

I'm very sure it will but the 32 megabytes of graphics memory I'm not so sure about playing games on Ubuntu though. Plus if you need an OS built for older computers pick Xubuntu. It's about the same as Ubuntu but just for older systems.So, yeah I'm sure it will run Ubuntu just fine, but if that doesn't work just try Xubuntu. PSPSlimBoy ☺ :)
