best RTS games 2009

What are the best current RTS games? Warzone 2100 is fun, but its from 1999 and the graphics show this. Mainly interested in Linux native, but any others that work in wine are fine.(And maybe even windows if it is really good.) I've found the rts/fps blend games fun also.

I have decided to start this thread even tho there are some good game lists out there like the one at http://debianlinux.net/games.html they dont tend to show up the really good games, and that was one of the most frustrating things about the move to linux for me.... I need games to 'chill out' So perhaps if youve played a good game on linux, then could you share it with us. Ill add a few of my favourites... Unreal Tournament 2004 - This game is not free, but it is one of the best i have played in a long time. The cds come with a linux installer its a DVD (6CD?) game. AWSOME graphics and online play. Basically you just run around killing everyone with many assorted weapons. There are vehicles from small little hovers to 4 people tanks.. plus a aircraft!. Ok well you will have to experiene it yourself. Quake 3 - This is another commercial one, and its a little on the old side, but still kicks a$$. ID Software released a linux point release for quake 3 so yet another gre

I am using XBMC on my HTPC in living room and I was reading this article about linking games inside of XBMC: http://lifehacker.com/5523672/turn-y...o-game-console This article is for Windows, but I want to do the same in Linux. I was able to install that plug-in in XBMC, but how do I link some games this way? I tried to link game like Mahjongg (I linked the file in application menu), but it gave me an error.

Best Linux distribution for me?

location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 25, 2009
What do you think is the best Linux distro for me? The specifications of what I will be running it on: 2.6ghz Pentium 4 HT (soon to be 3.2ghz) 768mb RAM (will upgrade gradually to 4GB) 32mb nVidia Riva TNT AGP card Integrated AC'97 Audio 120GB HD Intel Pro 1000GT Ethernet PCI card What I want to be able to do: Use blackbox/fluxbox as window manager Set up file sharing fairly easily (and be able to install Netatalk) Video Splicing General Web Browsing/Chat Other than that, there is nothing else that I need to use this computer for. I want the distro to be as quick as possible, and I also do not want to be shielded from using root if I have to. I would like it to be stable too, and have packages that take virtually no effort to install.
