Not so much games related but then again... there's every possibility since EVE Online announced Nov. 7th that the current release, the game was playable on Linux.

On Nov. 1, Everex and Walmart announced that they were selling a Linux machine for $199.00 - Not that it can run any of the State-of-the-Art PC games, but a 1.5GHz processor, 80gig Hard drive, 512 Mg of DDR2 RAM, DVD/CD player and loaded with OpenOffice (which includes Word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications) for $199 (no monitor) introduces the power and convenience of a computer to those of us with less discretionary $$ to throw around.

Fifteen days later, it's sold out online, although some stores may still have one. You hear that tinkle? It's the sound of the Windows monopoly breaking. Industry analysts must be watching this one closely. There are limited applications that run on Linux, but as these (and similar) machines slip quietly into the mainstream, there will be more demand for applications capable of running on Linux.
