Well, non-entirely OSS, but if you're into FPS at all, Return To Castle
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory runs GREAT on Linux, as does the Quakes,
Unreal Tourney. (I'm currently suffering a debilitating addiction of
RTCW:ET. (I'm a covert ops!)). Sadly, I have nothing really portable
enough (but if an all-nighter lan party is in the offing, I'd consider
carting a machine along, we used to do that when I lived in Houston. My
apartment didn't have Manx Three Foot Thick Stone Walls, rather, they had
stud walls between apartments with very little soundproofing. I dunno what
the neighbours thought when four chainguns were going at high volume
simultaneously...)

Hrm. Any desire to try and make a homebrew laser?

There's really bugger all money in hosting unless you can sell a lot of
it, or can sell it in conjunction with something else. Or perhaps I'm just
crap at selling!

But I think we do need another beer^W LUG meet.
