VirtualBox is not really the best choice for gaming. I strongly suggest using WINE. WINE allows you to run Windows software under Linux (with a few bugs now and then), but a vast majority of games are playable under WINE. See http://www.winehq.org/ for instructions on installing and using WINE.

Most games are supposed to be compatible with windows not linux. If you have a copy of any windows operating systems(for example windows 2000, windows xp, windows 7) lying around or a friend has a copy or even the one that came with most computers, then virtualbox is the best choice. Another but has some problems is wine hq. If you want to get more games that are compatible with linux not windows is on this link http://www.penguspy.com/#/All/free_and_commercial/sort=1/view=1/limit=0 I hope this solves your problem. Please comment me on your progress with any of the things I considered earlier.

What are examples of applications that run under Linux Operating Systems?

Ditto rjivaro, except the windows emulation part. Most applications can be replaced with actual linux compatible ones, however there a some (mostly games) that can not. Wine is your friend for games except that you will have a reduction in frame-rate as the system has to convert dx to opengl and back again. Best to keep a small windows install for game playing. Non linux games anyway

Plant Vs. Zombies run in an ubuntu( Linux OS)

I have been installing OS for windows and Linux. But I have a problem running online and offline games in linux flatforms.
I am fond of playing offline games too. Since Our clients in the internet cafe' requests PLANT VS. ZOMBIES game be installed in the other units having ubuntu OS 8.10 client desktops.
Just make sure when you have installed the ubuntu it must be accompanied with WINE INSTALLER in order to run the exe. file of the Windows design Plant Vs. Zombies. Copy the folder of the Plant Vs. Zombies files and then paste it in the desktop or home folder of the Linux OS.
Right Click the exe icon the open it with wine program installer. Then just wait for a while then the Plant Vs. Zombies game will load in a linux Program.

Enjoy Playing Plant Vs. Zombies in Windows and Linux Program.

Good Luck....

How to install linux operating system

Hello
A free software operating system based on Linux was created and it was named Ubuntu. It offers all services needed by ISPs, mail servers, DNS servers, FTP servers, MySQL servers, POP3/POP3s/IMAP/IMAPs, Quota, and Firewalls. Red hat, Apache and Ubuntu are Linux software distributors. Ubuntu is widely used because it is free and you don't have to pay any licensing fee. Updates are also available for free and accessible online.
To install Ubuntu Linux software you can use the program "Wubi."
The first thing to do is to download Wubi to your desktop and then run the executable program. Then choose the drive in your computer where you want your installation to go. Wubi will place a file on your local drive. It will use this drive as a virtual hard drive. Most often the C drive is used for this purpose. Choose a bigger installation size to allow installation of other programs and storage of data. Choose your language. Type in your username and then your password for security reasons and for your installation to proceed. You will use this for logging on to your computer, installing programs and making changes to the system. Once you click "Install" Wubi will start to download the installation files. When the installation files have completely been downloaded, you have to reboot. Restart your computer. You'll see on your screen a prompt that asks you to select the operating system that you like-whether you like to boot Ubuntu or Windows. Choose Ubuntu. This will complete the installation of your Ubuntu Linux OS. Another way of installing the Ubuntu Linux software is by using:
An Ubuntu CD installer An Internet connection Everything you need to install Linux comes in one CD that provides a complete working environment. You can get the additional software you will need online for your installation. The available graphical installer makes installation easy and quick. Your computer will have Internet, drawing and graphics applications, and games after Linux has been installed.
Now your computer is ready to work to the max. You'll have it functioning the way you want it and enjoy its features as well. Working on a computer is as much fun as it is functional. You can now browse for information you need, play a variety of games and even listen to your favorite music and watch some videos.
Hope this helps, if so do rate the solution

Building your own computer? Just get linux and install your games through the linux program called WINE. linux should automatically have and detect all your drivers so you can install them.

Can I use a playstation 3 instead of a computer?

If you have updated with the latest updates, from 3.21 if I remember correctly you now basically have a games console. If you are on earlier firmware you can install another operating system, namely Linux. The PS3 is not quite powerful enough to play games and such in Linux but it can be a reliable internet browsing/word processing computer. If you google installing Linux on a PS3 there is a lot of information on how to do it.

Hope this helps.

I have comcast high speed internet but no computer can i hook the ps3 up and still get on the internet on it.

Yes, the PS3 had an Integrated web browser so internet access is possible with it, you can use a usb mouse and usb keyboard as well...Its not as easily navigated as a PC but it will do most things online. Another option you have is to install Linux on the ps3 by creating a 10g partition, when you do this you loose all saved game data on your system but you can do a system backup prior to installing linux. all you need is an external usb drive to back up your system. Once linux is installed you have a fully functional PC on your ps3...Neet hu...Instructional videos can be found on YouTube
