    Native Half-life linux support

    Hey peoples
    Just a quick question, did they ever release Half-life1 with native linux support. I heard they had but I am having troubles sourcing a copy. Anyone know whether it was actually done.
    Thanks.

    I highly doubt it. I think it runs pretty well on Wine, however.
    I do not use Ubuntu any more, nor have I ever used Gnome. Therefore, I tend to give advice that is distro- and DE-agnostic, which, while perhaps not the easiest way, will allow you to move freely between machines.

    I run Half Life and also TF2 on Wine.
    Run well, pretty bughy in some cases.

    And there are rumours of Valve porting Source to Linux

    I don't think there is a native hl1 for Linux.

    I play Half-life with Wine. And I like it. I don't need Windows because all Half-life features works with Wine. And Valve don't have the binaries of Half-life, but it have the source for Linux. But I'm not sure.
