Linux might be good at and suited for a lot of things, but I can't see it being suitable for a games console. Software for games consoles doesn't have to peacefully co-exist with lots of other processes, so you can get the best results through just about every hack a coder can think of. Writing to the I/O ports directly, rather than going through some uniform abstracted driver system for example. And memory protection is just pointless for obvious reasons. Ditto for smooth multitasking. Smooth multitasking (more exactly: multithreading), I/O that can easily be programmed without bare-metal assembly hacking and memory protection are good features for a gaming platform. Why? No software is programmed as fast, as sloppily and under as much pressure as games. More power to you if your platform offers easy development, features that ease performance problems (such as the Linux low-latency patches) and crash protection. mawa -- Contemporary American feminism's simplistic psychology is illustrated by the new cliche of the date-rape furor: "`No' always means `no'."

IN the 80's we had compact code that a computer could use efficiently. Linux
manages to do that here in 21st century. Linux is emminently maleable and
it can indeed do all the stuff you want it to do, but like any OS it needs
drivers and software to do it. Planinly your are not willing to do the
legwork to get them.

and a life? you do have oneright? ;)
well the funny thing is i have turned into a total computer geek at the age
of 51.
sure i was a hell raiser back in the 60's
then turned to a family man in the 70's
then from about 1985 until a year ago i was one of those performance
poets...
and really became a hell raiser again...but finally
blew all the anger out of my system...
the whole time i used my trusty 1939 smith corona typewriter and hated
computers...( to this day at least...i don't have a teevee)
and barely tolerated my friends who were into it...
and now i am one :)
used to restore vacuum tube radios...now i fix up old computers and get all
my moneyless friends going...
used to do a lot of volunteer work too;
photo instructor for mentally ill adults...
i was even president of a community art center...
but now it's quiet time for me and a time to learn all the new technology.
i repair industrial batteries and battery chargers for a living and those
things require a lot of physical strength...(transformers weigh 50-250
pounds...
and the cells can weigh 150-200#)
so i need to learn as much about computers now...sort of as a back up incase
i need a career change.
so i took all this time writing to avoid just admitting that i guess *no* i
don't have alife right now...
but i had one...and probably will again soon

Thank you Leslie for a sane honest answer to my questions.
It's simply incredible to see some of the more rabid Linux users
dancing and avoiding a simple direct question and then attacking the
messenger when they have no answer, or the real answer does not show
Linux in a completely positive manner.
Some of these people would be doing Linux a big favor by NOT
advocating it because the end result is that they are making Linux
look bad and proving the argument that it is an operating system for
elitist programmer types.
I will let the thread die at this point.
Just keep in mind that Win98SE is a very recent product, and
not a free upgrade from any other version. Most of the
others that replied probably gave up on getting windows
For the ~ cost of a software upgrade, you can get dedicated
hardware to do this sort of thing now...
I've seen more positive traffic regarding such solutions on my cable
provider's newsgroups than 98SE.

1.
With software right out of the box, it is IMPOSSIBLE to do Internet
connection sharing securly with ANY MS OS. All you need comes with
Linux.
2. I blame MS for the problems with sharing ANYTHING in a mixed
environment.
3. With software that COMES with MS software it is basiclly IMPOSSIBLE
to do firewalls. All that you need COMES with Linux.

So again for the 3rd time, prove me wrong and show me specifically how
much easier it is to set up:
1. Internet connection sharing.
2. Printer/scanner sharing with Linux/Windows mixed system.
3. Firewall (software based).
Again under Win98SE:
1. Internet connection sharing:
Try help "how do I share my internet connection?" duhh
2. Printer Sharing:
Click on Printers/Share Du again.
3. Firewall:
Try Zonealarm which has been written up in just about every
magazine and trade rag. No configuration necessary. It blocks your
ports and informs you with a popup everytime something is trying to
gain access to your system. You have the option of giving access or
not. No need to type in all kinds of ip addresses although you can do
that if you wish also.
So how does one go about doing this easily under Linux?
It's very easy to do under Windows. Not one file to edit.
So how about a direct rebuttal to prove me wrong instead of all of the
lame attempts at deflecting a direct question.
Is answering a direct question too difficult for the Linux people?

Compared to the need to download some strange new package,
even bare ipchains commands fare better.
No, Win98SE does it out of the box.
Secure? SNICKER are you claim
