- Hummercash - 01-27-2002 Lindows Review the article says it still has problems running most windows programs, but hopefully this will change in the near future. - AdolescentMasturbator - 01-27-2002 Lol you do know Lindows is just a regular Linux distro with WINE tacked on do you? And honestly the only need I have is games. Quake 3-based games seem to natively run(the windows version on linux) with a patch and WINE takes the HL engine fine. Now WINE has basically three projects WineHQ(the original), Transgaming, and WineX(Codeweavers). Once they get DirectX to work then games will work perfectly. - Hummercash - 01-27-2002 AdolescentMasturbator Wrote:Lol you do know Lindows is just a regular Linux distro with WINE tacked on do you?yah, i know... but the fact that its name is pissing off M$ just makes me want this product to succeed. - AdolescentMasturbator - 01-27-2002 Got to love how MS got a court injunction to get the info of everyone on the mailing list. |
