    I'm going to be terrible and admit that my Linux box is not a laptop, it's a desktop. But it's by far the most powerful computer I have access to.
    I like playing RTS games and was wondering if anybody has any experience playing these with Linux.

    linux has two options for game emulation, there is the free-version but much less advanced wine--> http://winehq.com/

    and also a program called cedega, which will run most triple A titles but that costs 5 dollars a month --> http://www.transgaming.com

    you could also compile cedega cvs manually but unless you have a lot of computer experience i wouldn't recommend that.
