What can I say, after joining team ipx I learned that many of our
members are linux users, so having never seen or used linux myself
I became quite curious as to why people would choose linux over
a windows client. Well one week, three distributions and a non stop
riot of a headache I still don’t understand why people choose to
use linux over a windows client.
However I would like to whole heartedly thank ltmon for spending
most of this evening trying to help me get Quake Wars working on
my Fedora distro.
After my net connection died and I couldn’t ask Ltmon for more
help I gave up on Fedora and re installed Sabayon, I figured that
if I couldn’t play games on linux I would at least install something
that looks hot, and I could slowly learn to use, Sabayon being
built from the Gentoo architecture. (and still play as my second
sata drive has a minimal version of windows installed on it).
Well thirty minutes later I had a smashing new version of linux
installed and once again my curiosity got the better of me, “hey
why not give Quake Wars a go with this distro?”. As soon as the
installation was complete I had the terminal up and ready to watch
the log fill with endless errors and such. It started without a
problem, after going through hell trying to get it to work on the
other one! But not only did it work it was awesome, truly awesome!
The loading times were great, the sound crystal clear and the
graphics totally seemless. The game runs %100 better on Sabayon
than it ever did on windows.
Well there’s my two cents. Res
