I´m forced to use the dam windows as long as I want to play my LOVELY games , as they are basicly constructed for windows, so I´m trapt U see.

The only games worth playing on the PC can be played in GNU/Linux using the tools ScummVM (for old Lucasarts games) and FreeSCI (for old Sierra On-Line games)..

8)

You sure narrowed it down there, Linus.

Seems most of the biggest games either are being in the works of getting native support or they are/soon to be supported in Wine. Hopefully, more games will have native support in the near future.

The only game worth playing is Tetris.

Slackware 8, 8.1 and 9.0
OpenBSD 2.8

[Whistler]

I run Slackware 8.0 on my server (firewall, router, CS-host), but otherwise I run Windows on my gaming machine.

Maybe a little off topic, but does anyone know of a distribution that will run on a 486-laptop? I found one in my closet the other day and Linux was the first thing on my mind. :twisted:

Slackware 3.1 works perfectly on a 486

[fackamato]

Tried Slack 9.1, Mandrake 9.1, I won't touch redhat

Maybe i'll try another distro soon.. Hm. Debian 3.0r1 runs (ran, hdd crash ) on the server.

[Tajgoren]

Been running Linux as my primary client OS since about a year or so, after I gave up gaming more or less (I still have Windoze installed and play some WC3 from time to time). Been using it as my server OS for uuhh... well, ever. Three or four years, something like that.

Allt his time I've put my faith in RedHat (wonderful distros if you know how to configure it underneath the bundled configuration applications) but I've also tried Slack, Mandrake and Debian.

Got to say I really like RedHats new approach to the enthusiast segment when releasing Fedora and Enterprise as two different distributions. Companies can pay for reliable certified software with good support and desktop/home users can install a free excellent OS running very current packages on a more regular basis than before which helps in testing packages for the Enterprise releases.

Way to go RH.

Hrhr. I now run Slackware 9.1 as my primary OS, which is nice

I use linux at home, my gf uses it and i use it much at work too. In fact i rarely touch a windows computer if not to repair it. Everything i do i do in linux.

Linux is my kind of wrench.
