Post Your Desktop "Background screenshot"

No mate, I removed XP in November 2005. Haven't used it since at home :)

If you look at my post again, I added a nice google earth screenie.

Nice...i didnt know Google earth run on linux...

As your a linux master yourself would you say that they will make linux so that you can run windows games like you could on windows?
Like just click on the setup file and instal?
Know what i mean?

If they could do that i would switch to Kubuntu or Suse.

Nevakonaza, do you already use Kubuntu?

The few windows games that do work on Linux, whilst not a simple click to install are actually still very easy to install.

e.g.

To install Unreal Tournament 2004

Open Terminal (click on the icon)

Type 'sh' then drag and drop the Linux installer that is on the DVD into terminal so that the path becomes visible
i.e. sh '/media/UT2004_DVD/linux-installer.sh'

Then press ENTER

Choose where you want it installed and just sit back and wait until it's finished.

Now it can be run!

Not exactly hard ;)

Unless something major happens to Windows to make a lot more people jump to Linux then I can't see there being a rush to make games for Linux. At the moment it seems that only ID software bothers to make their "windows" games also work under Linux.
 
I'm actually into Linux also. I never need to go back to Windows, but eventually, yes. The latest 10.2 ran XGL bugged up badly, and the K3b burning program can't find my DVD burner.

Maybe update your k3b version?

I believe there is a newer one (1.0rc5) in the packman repo than comes with suse.

Packman
Protocol – HTTP
Server name – packman.iu-bremen.de
Directory – suse/10.2

Can't help with XGL, I use the nvidia drivers for Beryl.
 
Heh, I don't really bother with XGL really. I use Xorg for the Window manager. I'll give it another try at a later time, but what happens with XGL is that it's garbled.

All settings are enabled, but what you see is actual moving paralelograms (sp) and there is no Window fram on the windows. Keyboard works on certain apps.
No need for support, just telling what I have experienced.
 
ha, try going to college and not having using windows. And if it is possible, more work than worth.

I did 3 years at college doing 2 IT courses and the only thing I ever needed to use at home was a word processor for my assignments.

Maybe things have changed and they expect more now?
