LOL Linux can run trash even now. The funniest thing is that *trashers* don't know it and they think windows is irreplaceable for great many programs but that's not true...at least not any more. One of the most popular false beliefs is "linux can't run games". Several months ago a friend of mine came to my place and showed me he had just bought himself "Quake-4". He was paying tributes to Windows and was explaining me how "he was going play, while I could only sit and watch with my linux". OK, I knew the guys from ID Software had promised a linux version soon after the general release, but I was nicely surprised when I found that not only ID Software had kept their promise, but also the guys from gentoo had it in the portage! Well, the installation was "windows-easy" and I showed my friend Quake-4 under linux on a machine which I doubt is capable of even starting this game under Windows. More recently I was glad to rain on his parade again. This time the game in question was Heroes-4. Well, Heroes-4 was tricky. I had to compile cedega and it wasn't quite easy, but after all I was glad to send several screen shots to my friend. Heroes is deleted already but I'm afraid to touch cedega, because I don't want to go through compiling from cvs again. It was quite painful. -- Best regards, Daniel -- [email protected] mailing list
