This should help:

Ubuntu's main site is an invaluable resource. If you're new to Linux, I'd explore thoroughly there.
Good luck and happy learnings!

The podcast:
Linux Reality has got 2 episodes on Ubuntu running it from a liveCD and installing it. It should give you a good introduction to both Ubuntu and Linux in general, its a great resource for new linux users (such as myself) imo.

You'll have to use a Win32 emulator. Google for one.

That defeats the purpose :/ I could have just done that with OS:X

You wont be able to install all games, but if you get wine that will help a bit, and if you want to use a little money you should get Cedega which will enable you to play some more games. However NWN2 still can't be played on Linux.

Do I need wine for BF2 aswell as NWN1?

There is a native Linux client for NWN1, so you do not need Wine to run it.

Battlefield 2 is officially supported by Cedega (which Netrom already mentioned). Paying for the Cedega subscription is your best bet to get newer Windows games running in Linux. You *might* be able to get it running with Wine using Windows DLLs, but I don't know for certain.

Okay great... Before you had posted this I installed nwn through wine, and well I can't open it I get aqs far that the menu that has the "Play" button. I can't find where wine installed it to, the directory said program files, which doesn't exsist according to the search thing.. How do I get rid of the NWN I installed?

you should have a drive some where in your /home/username/.wine (notice that files and directories starting with a . is considered hidden in linux, and will not show in your file browser by default
