Online Gaming
With all this talk of installing games, it's easy to forget that there are many games that you don't have to install at all. Numerous websites allow you to play games online for free, as long as you have the proper browser plug-ins installed. (See Multimedia Plug-Ins in Keeping Up-to-Date with Live Bookmarks for help installing plug-ins.) For example, check out http://www.popcap.com/ and http://gametrick.net/ for some great online time-wasters. You can also play any of the games found on Facebook or other social networking sites, such as Farmville and Mafia Wars, without ever leaving the comfort of your Ubuntu desktop.
