Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, HL2 EP 1&2 In Ubuntu Using Wine

A nice, in depth how-to that goes over installing every game in the Orange Box games in Ubuntu, with screenshots along the way. This includes Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, and Episode 1 & 2 in Ubuntu with Wine.

For those of you who are not familiar with The Orange Box, it’s five games in one box. It contains Half-Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Portal, and the one everyone has been waiting for: Team Fortress 2. My god! For 50 bones this IS the best deal in video game history.

Let’s start with a overview of what we need to accomplish: Copy DVDs to Hard Disk, Install & Configure Wine (including obtaining a proprietary, non-free font), and finally, configure the game to run properly.
