Linux - Mission Difficult - 04-04-2008
Just wondering if anyone around here is big on linux. We've had some downtime at work lately and a bunch of G4s laying around, so we put fedora on one of them and I've been screwing around with it. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Id recommend Unbuntu or Mandriva, thats what I personally have experience with.
Red Hat is fine too.
Im not a huge linux nut because most games won't run on it, even with Wine. However I usually run it on my back up boxes.

You could run a TF2 server on linux though, no?

yup, but you can't play it

If I win that Turning Point PC (pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease) this one is SO getting Linux put on it. ^_^

Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose? I mean if you're going to win a beefy computer, you might as well play games on it. Dual-booting I can understand. Love me some K/Ubuntu.

I <3 linux and run it on my Laptop, Ubuntu 7.04 to be exact. I love it for everything but gaming.

Ubuntu's neat, and I dual-boot with it and XP on my laptop, but... I really don't feel the need to hassle with it on my main PC. I do dig that (and I may be misspeaking here, sorry) Ubuntu's support of NTFS has increased recently, I think with the last distribution, but anyway, tinkering with it on the laptop is about all I feel like doing with it.

If any of you win that PC, then you are completely wasting it if you put Linux on it. It's a gaming machine, no more, no less.
Re: Linux - CaffeinePowered - 04-05-2008
Not to mention that turning point PC is ridiculously overpriced
Re: Linux - Mission Difficult - 04-05-2008
For soothe. You could build something better for a little more than half the price.
Re: Linux - copulatingduck - 04-05-2008
I think he meant he's putting Linux on his current compy. Ubuntu's alright, but it seems like it's gone a little downhill with the last release. I prefer Debian, but I actually use Linux for my server :\

My wife has ubuntu and she likes it, it turned a cheap laptop with Vista that was so slow it was useless to a decent laptop for school.
Re: Linux - exanimo - 04-06-2008
For crappier machines, xubuntu is killer.

I meant my current computer, which isn't doing all that well.
Heck no I wouldn't waste a perfectly good high end computer by putting Linux on it! Putting Linux on a machine is the equivalent of putting it out to pasture, content to gaze from the sidelines while the good PCs have all the fun. :p

Definitely gonna have to agree with Ubuntu! I use it on my laptop. It has got a few years on it and Linux helps to speed it up a bit. I do nothing but browse the internets on it when I'm away from home, but Beryl is awesome to play around with!
