Installed Games

[Dave]

Very Good point on teh Licencing of Steam forgot about that..
 
In that case, I will change my mind and go for dropping the games..  virtually
everyone i know who uses Xubuntu (or any linux distro) install the game they
want and very rarely use the one already installed.
 
Regards
 
Dave
