You can usually find links from the distro's site on where to DL there distro. You can see many different distro's located here www.distrowatch.com on the right hand side where it starts with Ubuntu.
As for Linux native games here are a few sites to help you out. www.tuxgames.com...
I have tried FC3 x86-64 Ubuntu x86-64 and gentoo x86-64 and when I last tried them was about 6 months ago and F3 x86-64 was imo, easiest to use and the most polished well working x86-64 from the ones I tried. Gentoo was a pain with the chrooting into 32bit land. Ubuntu had severe acpi or apm...
Anyways, you need to have free unpartitioned disk space when you go to install the OS. If you already have a partition created for Linux and it's only one partition, that is not enough because Linux needs atleast 2 partitions/ One / and one swap. Red Hat/Fedora Core distro's like 3 available one...
Don't forget the guest account. Now, I havn't ever used windows XP but I know win2kpro and previous versions of windows have a guest account wich is enabled aswell. Make sure you either turn that off (disable) or password that aswell. If you really want your room mate to stay out of your comp...
I'll give a second vote for Fedora Core 3. Worked like a charm for me right off the bat. I even was able to play all my 32bit commercial binary games on it without issues. Instead of the regular sh setup.sh type linux32 sh setup.sh and it works flawlessly.
Only things I would change if your...
Why not use what works? F/OSS and windows, it doesn't really matter unless your a stickler about certain things. I just have a problem with this statemaent.
If you don't care about F/OSS, why are you using Linux?
I care about Linux in the sense of free will, and choice. Just because it is...
Yes, you are correct. With Arch you can download the 0.5 iso and update it to the 0.7 iso with just updating it. Same with gentoo in this respect.
Technically a distro like Arch or gentoo all you have to do is download one iso. The only and main reason they release new iso's is to support new...
I think the person that did the forcedeth driver is a godsend. In this respect all of my mobo's (7 total) are all nforce chipsets ranging from Nforce1-3. I have never had any problems with using all the kernel drivers to support my nforce mobo's. I have never once needed to load any downloadable...
All they have to do is shutdown the update site where you can download the individual updates. Then when a comp logs onto the service and grabs the info from the comp and they see it as pirated they just cut the DL service.
If they don't want you to have the updates, I am pretty sure they...
I think the trick here is, that if your dumb enough to turn on auto-update on a pirated OS from MS it will record it. They can then come after you for the $5-10k if they want. If they see there are to many pirated copies I think they will not shut off the servece but start chasing people down...
Most of the others that already posted are exactly correct in using a distro that can update itself while never needing to DL a new .iso
Imo, the best distro is Arch Linux for this purpose. Gentoo is ok here but it has that very rare but can happen broken thing going on. Granted Arch can...
Hehe, granted i use Linux. But for MS users I recommend the Disk Edit as that lets you view the drive and run other diagnostics on it.
I am sorry for making that assumption about the entire hard drive, my bad :/
yeah, i am paranoid about those first 63 sectors. Waiting for the virri to...
Opengl with it 's latest revision can keep pace with DX9. There is no question to that. The only main difference from what I have seen is that DX makes it so the time of development is reduced. Opengl is capable but seems to take longer for programs to get there games to market. SDL in Linux is...
