you should always be at least slightly distrustful of third-party stuff that you install - and you are. that's good. in this case, my experience was good, the games work, and the few packages that I've checked should pose no risk to your computer. when in doubt, you can always check what was added or modified by the packagers, just do 'apt-get source <whatever>' (though you need deb-src line in your sources.list for that). PlayDeb is a sister project of GetDeb, a well-known site with software for Ubuntu. in case of both, the access is open, and the package sources are available for inspection at any time. they also use Launchpad for organisation issues.

Thank You,

I will give this a try. I am always leary of third parties. Only takes A few min. to check the place out. :P
