the old guy
ive given a few half hearted attempts at using linux before. and never really cared for it as i was simply to lazy to get it all set up right. using mandrake once before , as soon as i started it up i was like "i have no idea what this is" and formatted it after about 2 days.
this time i decided i would give it an honest effort. i installed suse 10. at first i thought it would be another big hassle. my 3d graphics accelration didnt work, sound card driver was buggy , didnt think there would be any games for it etc.
but once i took the time to find the answers and fix my 3d acceleration and sound and to learn some of the commands to do most of the necessary tasks it seems to be pretty great. i havent even used my windows xp for a couple of days now. plus it doesnt seem nearly as complex as it was before. there are graphical interfaces for most of the apps now, and installing things is pretty easy once you get used to it. theres even a way to run several windows games on it now with wine and its derivatives. i actually played worfenstien enemy territory for the first time ever since i was looking to find some games there was a linux build for free. and there are many emulators for it including hacs great mupen 0.5.
all in all , for free , this is a great OS if you dont mind putting in the effort to set it up. after that you wont really miss windows. i think ill stick with it now.
dont know why i posted this. just felt like saying it. its kind of cool that you can have a complete OS with more software than you will ever need included all for free.:bouncy: :bouncy:
