Indeed, freespace linux port works very nice and the people behind it 
deserve big thanks. However, speaking about nice linux gaming experience 
try:
- heroes of might and magic 3 (lokigames title)
- soldier of fortune (lokigames title)
- doom3
- the elder scrolls 3: morrowind (with wine/cedega, works very very nice, 
just like in windows :), this is what I have been playing the last months 
on linux)

What whould be great too is that the SCP (the source code project) whould 
work on Linux too because they have very nice graphics engine additions 
and with the new data files it looks more like FreeSpace3 than FreeSpace2 
(and try out the community campaigns, some are very good and big).
