Do you know if you can play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC on it? Lack of support for that game on Ubuntu is the only thing that keeps me from going linux full-time.

You could take up FreeBSD. It's not Linux, it's a real descendant of BSD Unix. Depending on how you treat it, it can be like Gentoo or Debian, in that you can build everything from source or use binary packages. If you take a look at the latest release notes, http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/announce.html you can see that there are a number of advanced systems technologies that are in Freebsd that just aren't available in linux, In particular ZFS and the DTRACE subsystem. So if you want some of the cool things that Sun was working on before they got borged by Oracle this is the place to go. If you are worried about the availability of a GUI don't be. Both GNOME and KDE are available for FreeBSD. On Sun, Nov 7, 2010 at 6:46 PM, JKaplan <[email protected]> wrote: > Sure is quiet around here.... > > I'm not feeling it with ubuntu anymore.
