Err, I guess you are talking about Neverwinter Nights, which almost runs under linux. I think they are stuck with getting the mousewheel to behave for some reason.

Unfortunately my PC isnt good enough to be able to run that!

And I have windowz installed

...I was just curious as to why you would install an operating system that cant run windows games...but if Linux can do this then thats great! I might be tempted to give it a try when I get a new PC.

Dys, you will be able to play:
Quake, Quake2, Quake3, UT, UT2k3, and RTCW natively, without any trouble at all, and you will be able to play HL under wine, along with stuff like JK2, and other asorted games that i don't play.

Summo, what's wrong with controling services using a command line?

Command line > Summo

Because it's way better to use Start > Run ?

it is?

It's "way better" to use a GUI than contracting RSI through a command line.

I find that my ergomonic keyboard is far less strain on the wrists than using a mouse.

I don't see what people have against command line. I was having the 'linux is better than windows' conversation with a guy from my course and he stated as his only argument 'you have to mount disks yourself in the command line' as if it was the hardest thing to do ever. Despite telling him that there are many apps that make it windows-easy(i.e one click and done) he maintained that it was still not 'useful in anyway'. I also mentioned the concept of writing your own apps for linux which he refused to even contemplate. This is computer science student here.

I *got* rsi from mousing fs :/ I'm forced to alternate right/left hands when mousing these days, and use the gh3yness that is a trackball

I like the command line. I was introduced to linux via shell accounts, so, once I got over the "omg, how does this work?", I settled into it nicely. To such an extent that I can't be bothered installing X on my FreeBSD box.

uh...cheers




I only use windows atm coz I'm too busy to start messing with debian. I installed it but thats as far as I got.

:/

I'll sort it out when I get more time (finish uni).

 

[old.Fweddy]

I'm sick of windows. I've spent the last few days trying to edit this years media coursework and it keeps doing things


I need a Mac.

 

[Will]

Macs are very nice nowadays. I'm a big OS X fan. It is Unix, but my Dad can run it, without even knowing what a command line is.

Were you introduced to BSD before Linux?

When, where and how?

Indeed, studying Computer Science warps your mind doesn't it?
I still run Windows XP for almost everything (I have a very stable set up for some reason) so I've not really used my SuSE installation for about 3 weeks. However, I have got CygWin installed here and I use that as my main system shell. Command line is actually very useful.

So errr.. neh

I'll stick to Windows XP thx, and if MS were wiped of the face of the earth I woul unfortunately have to switch to OSX, I would never consider Linux as a desktop OS, mostly because 98% of the Linux community have nothing good to say about linux only bad things to whine about from MS

 

[Testin da Cable]

it's not an os, it's a movement. if you want an os use a BSD

RSI Is preferable to have severe soft-skin

And soft-skin is almost guaranteed for anyone reguarly using a mouse, whereas typing is hardly synonimous(sp?) with RSI. I can think of one activitiy, slightly related to computers(well, the interweb), that is though

Isn't there something like "automount" that mounts stuff whenever you put a disk in a drive? I think you declare it in the fstab, allthough i prefer manual mounting
