I don't think I've ever played red alert.

Search freshmeat.net. They have a games section. I haven't looked at it in a while thougth.

QUAKE III isn't free you have to buy the Quake III cd .

 

[chcarnage]

Battle for Wesnoth?

I'm not aware of a free realtime strategy game, sorry.

 

[xtknight]

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory by a long shot I'd say.

I forgot to mention that I am running FC4 on an Ati X800XL so I can't play any FPS game or any 3D intensive game i would prefer strategie games similar to RA2 I have it installed via WINE but I can't find a good working No cd patch, so I would appreciate it if someone can guide me to a good site for that.

Why? You need accelerated drivers for any "real" games...

Nope

ugh...that website sucks.

OP: you wanted a link to Wolf: ET? A lot of the web sites you download it from need subscriptions (crappy ass fileplanet can choke on a...never mind)

http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run

^ (Save target as...)

Excellent online game IMO. You'll want the 2.60 patch to play online, it should be integrated in to the Wolf ET link I posted though.

Ah, but I can play dopewars (undisputed best game ever) with nothing more than a command line terminal. :evil:
