Yeah hatebreed! cool.gif
Simple and fine if you got a video card matching it.

But seriously, gentoo linux, all the way.
We just need a few programmers and companies
which don't stick to ESTABLISHED MONOPOLIES.

...but guys...aren't we ignoring WINE?

Even if you take wine or cedega to this conversation windows still bats us with games, I tried wine and cedega for a couple of games and yes some run well under it but I am a worms player and I never got it to work in wine or wineX, Oke basic game worked but i want to play online and that did not work, alltrough games like HL and CS did work flawlessly in Wine smile.gif

And hello felow Gentoo user wink.gif

Well, I admit that WINE can't emulate
windows all that well, but there are still
a bunch of games for linux. Just type it in
at google, 'linux games'. I know you usually
need to get 101 packages first, but I have a
sourceforge project dedicated to that, it's called CDE,
Code Dependency Eliminator. Right now we're all
practically on vacation biggrin.gif but we'll get there.

I have nothing against windows personally, I think Gates
did well with it, but I find Linux the better OS.

Windows xp is the latest version, and its not likely to give so many errors. Many others are as good as well but for now i choose windows xp. I can trust more on this on, likley then the others.

I think Windows Xp.. I don't know why i think it's because i have never used any of the others. But and also it doens't have that many errors and it's fast, fun. and Great for me. But i haft to get a new Comqac Recovery Disc because i re-did my hard drive and i used Windows Xp Pro. and i didn't know my Compaq had it's own Hard Drive Recovery in it... LOL so yeah now my computer is all screwed up smile.gif

I think Win XP is the best for gaming cos of all the features it has. Coupled with the fact that MicroSoft has the best 3D Gaming software driver (The latest one being [b]DirectX 9.0c end user runtime[/b].

It is really a kool OS for Gaming for the real gamers. dry.gif biggrin.gif
