Emmett.hendrick Report post Posted January 12, 2006 LOL. Nice to see though. I use Linux at home these days (although I keep a Windows dual boot for my wife and games that don't run under Linux) much prefere to boot to Linux though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted January 12, 2006 I use SuSe. In fact, I just recently upgraded from 9.x to 10.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmett.hendrick Report post Posted January 13, 2006 Cool SC I use Suse too. I recently upgraded to 10 (64 bit version) myself. I use cedega to play some of my games on Linux but I keep a Win xp (64 bit) dual boot for UC and to keep the wife happy (she doesn't like linux) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUDGExKTF Report post Posted February 6, 2006 Its a nice review overall, but what I missing is something about deployment, upgrading and stuff like that. I know that Fedora and Suse come with things like YAST and YUM for upgrading. Fedora also comes with a config utility for netboot, for easy deployment. Also notice that the Java Desktop System from Sun is now opensource under the open solaris project. Basicly its a modified version of gnome with a lot of management features (policies, access rights, etc) and a unified look. On a side note I'm closly watching opensolaris, it has some features I always thought were missing in linux/unix distro's. For example it is possible in Solaris to allocate port 80 to the user apache, so apache doesn't need root priviliges, not even for a short time when its started.

v01i0 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 I have Ubuntu 5.10 running on my old pc. Had some problems during installation.. On 1st install sudo-command didn't work at all, on 2nd I porked sudo-command by setting clock showing correctly(sudo stopped working, claiming that last time stamp were too far in future, lol). But after 3rd installation I got it work. I listen mp3's, surf the net and read my mail with ubuntu. I'd change linux on my main computer but I have already paid for my windows plus that gaming would cause trouble with linux.. I wonder if any BC game would run in WINE? -v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
