Taupe 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 GNU/Linux is perfect for a home PC. I use it for 2 years and a half.There are many distribs (like Ubuntu, Mepis) which are more easy to install than every WindowsNo need to know UNIX command for a long time.... Could any Linux users recommend me some first-person shooters built for Linux? I only had partial sucess running Half-Life under WINE.You should try Enemy Territory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xboxrulz 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 rudeturk, you should just edit your post, don't double post plz. Linux has about 1% chance to catch viruses. I have ClamAV to protect me, I don't want to be the 1%. By server, do you mean Apache (free), Samba (free), MySQL (free), America's Army (free), Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (free), PHP (free)?xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karlo 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 Hello! I hate Linux... Every CD that I bought is all corrupted. And I ordered many Ubuntu Linux, they all stinks... I can't figure out how to use my external modem... I think Ubuntu Linux is based on FreeBSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 why buy Linux when you can burn it on an ISO. This is also a very poor reason to hate Linux. Ubuntu is NOT based on FreeBSD, they run on seperate kernels and Ubuntu uses DEB, and it's a Debian based Linux. For your corrupted CDs, I think you should contact support or check if your CD-ROM is reading properly, because that happened to me once.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
