umm.. this OS is based on Linux:

Both Linux kernel and the applications we use like Firefox Web Browser, OpenOffice.org, KDE, etc ... are free software and they have been developed after a long time by lots of people. Doing this work doesn't provide us more than spending money and time.
Because of said software being free, when we need to develop something about Turkish support or do cleaning for last-users, we can do it easily by editing the software. Submitting these software again to free software world makes us having a voice in free software eco-system and directing this eco-system to takes advantages.

Linux has been springboard for us to catch and to pass IT World's current level by putting original contributions on it.

VMWare DOES NOT WORK WITH GAMES, well, barely!xboxrulz

fdisk only writes your partitions, if you use SuSE, Fedora or Ubuntu, it can also do the partitioning and formatting for you.xboxrulz

well, you can try: Knoppix & MEPIS: http://www.knoppix.org/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

well, Cedega can only be free if u get their CVS version, else, use Wine, most of my games are DirectX (3D) based, so it won't work. It'll only work if it's OpenGL ;)xboxrulz

you may need Fedora Core 4, which it has the xorg X11 server, which is easier to configure. If you do have Fedora Core, install the Linux drivers for it. Then configure with nvidia-settings.xboxrulz

You may want to get a Cedega subscription from Transgaming, they developed a Windows compatibility layer for Linux from Wine.

The problem running games on pure Wine is that it's DirectX implementation is poor.

Hey all,

KMess is a KDE and QT based MSN Messenger for UNIX based OS such as Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.

It is fast, but it doesn't have much features as it's competitor, Mercury Messenger.

Here's 1 screenshot from their website.

yup, have been a Mercury Messenger user since it was called dMSN.It's a great piece of software, except that it does take too much of my memory, which annoys me. I have 512 MB RAM, 2.5 GHZ machine and it still lags it. Damn Java!xboxrulz

SuSE has a great configuration tool called YaST2, it is very modular too, it's easy to configure your machine. YaST can also act as an autoupdater, that updates your whole system.SuSE comes with KDE and GNOME, you can choose between themSuSE is opensource and open-development, it's like Fedora Core, but it aims at everyone. Fedora Core is mainly for high-end users.SuSE is powerful at gaming and has a kernel that is for your system.SuSE is available as a paid package, with a large manual and support or for free without large manual and support.It is a hybrid of Windows and Linux smashed into one great package, the ease, stability and customizability.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ <-- get more info hereSuSE Linux is backed by Novell Inc.xboxrulz

wutske, u have lost 90% control, just by using Windoze, it's closed source, and you don't use the full potential of your computer already, go opensource!xboxrulz

lol, haven't u tried using WINE to add a lil' compat layer?xboxrulz

I would recommend SuSE, but if u really want customization go for Gentoo. SuSE is great, it has everything you need, in 1 DVD or 5 discs.xboxrulz

Well, sorry empty calorie, but I didn't want to waste space on my desktop so I shrunk it so it looks like Windows XP.xboxrulz

it's not an emulator, like what the name says. WINE is Not an Emulator.I have a couple games working perfectly on the WINE technology via Cedega.xboxrulz

I have Netbeans and Eclipse, both looks nice, and both works perfectly, the good thing about Java IDEs are that they actually correct your spelling when you spell something wrong. Which I usually have a problem when programming in Turing. The only way to know I spelled something wrong in Turing, I have to test the app in order to notice the spelling mistakes.xboxrulz

the lower the resolution, the faster it goes.Can you paste what the glxinfo say?xboxrulz

the command is fdisk (but it's really supposed to be called fdisc, but the programmers are Americans, so o well), anyways, it comes w/ Windows.Just launch cmd then type fdisk. SuSE Linux, Fedora Core, Ubuntu Linux will help you partition when you insert the installation disc.xboxrulz

It's controlled by the DirectX interpreter, you might need to change some directx settings, I don't really know how to set this. This will interprete from DirectX to OpenGL.

Anyways, if you want to shell out a subscription fee, you can use Cedega.

The Sims 2, C&C Renegade, Freelancer, Battlefield 2 (DVD Edition), C&C Generals (moved to Linux now), Need for Speed:Underground, Guild Wars, C&C Red Alert 2That's all I can say, until I rummage the whole list.xboxrulz

I have the game on PC, it's great cept that my Windows crashes whenever I load games.xboxrulz

I told u, it's ASUS, please re-read my system specsalso, I dun use the cipset, it's Intel...Thanx,xboxrulzPlease don't double post .~SpaceWaste

a) I don't have SP2 bcause I run Linux;) it's useless and my SP1 machine cannot contact w/ my bro on the network when playing games!c) It slows down the machined) it introduces new problems then fixing themxboxrulz

No error messages (that's why I hate Windows, it doesn't tell you about any error when it crashes), the crash type is hanging.These are the hypothesis:NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT has a memory problem (low, since it works properly in Linux)512 MB RAM has problems (yet low since it works perfectly in Linux)Driver problem (probably)xboxrulz
