Linux Pendrive Gaming

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for networked games that we could run on linux Ubuntu off of pendrives? Something like Quake 2 or Counter Strike would be awesome, everyone involved does own copies of both games, we just don't have access to Windows to install them on the machines we plan on using.

Any suggestions? Even freeware games would be interesting.

Cheers,

    Check out the Sabayon distro and its 'gaming' flavor. It can boot a couple of games straight into ram, notably the shooters Warzow, Nexuiz (based on Quake 2 or 3 engine, I think), OpenArena (Quake 3) and Tremolous. There's also a number of RPG and RTS games, for multiplayer.

    Ditto.

    Personally I liked Alien Arena a little better than OpenArena. Although OpenArena is damn near straight Quake 3.

    I don't know of anything that quite emulates CS, though.

    Urban Terror is similar to CS. Fast, team-based (on most of the modes), customizable loadouts.
