Unfortunately, these will probably disappear because Loki Software (which ported
those applications to Linux) went out of business. Fortunately, the future of high-end Linux gaming
seems to be in the hands of TransGaming Technologies, which has created Cedega from previous
WINE technology to allow Windows games to run in Linux.
Commercial games that run natively in Linux are also available. These include games from id
Software, such as Quake III Arena and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Running a File Server
With the growing availability of broadband Internet connections and
a popular desire to run personal Web sites and Web logs (blogs),
an increasing number of people are setting up Web application
servers on their home Internet connections. Web applications are also finding
more popularity in business environments because Web applications reduce
the number of programs that need to be maintained on workstations.
One popular variety of Web application server is known as a LAMP server
because it brings together Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
