| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01  | Anyone using Linux to play games. I am using Winblows right now and haven't made the effort to try some under Linux. I know most of the quake servers run linux. Any thoughts? I am running Red Hat 7.1. Just wanted to see if people notice a speed difference at all.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Well I made a topic about this a few weeks ago. I will just paste it here. The more and more I use Linux the more and more I hate Windows. Something about having an OS without constant crashing, open-sourced, allows me to update for free, and up to 16 virtual desktops. I am currently using Mandrake 7.2 but I might go to 8 soon. This isn't the only way to play games there have been ports but those take a lot longer this seems like the easiest way now until Linux has a sizeable market share. quote: | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Thanks, I must have missed the other post. I've been running Linux at work for about 7 months. I had it loaded on my home pc, but didn't have a lot of time to play wwith it. I am making time now. It just runs so much faster and there isn't the constant threat of a crash.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Glad to see there are other Linux users on the board. I have been using it for 3 or 4 months now and have been using it a lot ever since I haven't been able to boot into Windows. It is definitely a lot faster because it gives more system resources to the programs instead of windows which is a resource hog. I also like the idea of downloading the kernel and updating it easily and for the low low price of nothing. And since it is Unix-based it hardly ever crashes. I also like the enormous amount of virtual desktops which questions the need for a multiple monitor setup. And another great thing is the command line I add it to my taskbar so I can just type netscape instead of going the programs list, much easier. E-Mail Me IM me at stickysituation2 | ||||
