Hear , hear

I agree with adler.
Doom Legacy is awesome!I played all versions of doom(except 3 of course) with it for about 6 months.And I can't wait for Doom3.UT2004 I'm not really excited about though.
UT2003 was very disappointing.

Anyway I've rambled on to long.

Adios
WindowsBurner

when i talked about prboom, thats an engine to use doom data, including doom legacy and all the other dooms.

Games:

100% Anti-Wine.
Why would we want to emulate windows? :P

I would like to point out that WINE IS NOT AN EMULATOR, geeze, look into it. It just implements the API function calls so that windows applications run on linux. http://www.winehq.org/site/myths

Yeah, Wine is not an emulator, but there is no other good way to describe it. Plus, the DirectX stuff in WineX IS emulation to a large extent.

I understand why people are anti-wine, I don't always agree, but I understand it. I think it's useful for running stuff that is older and will never be ported. For newer stuff, I think more effort needs to be made to push Linux as a viable desktop platform in people's eyes. With Linux, it's like the table is attractively set, the food (good food) ready to be served, the invitations have been set, yet hardly anyone is showing up to the dinner party.

im nolt anti-wine, im anti wineX.

i´m too a fan of Star Wars´games but we must do an petition for porting their games to linux but how or where to contact them for such things?

I know Wine is not an emulator, what do you think it stands for?!
Oh my god, not possibly: [W]ine [I]s [Not] an [E]mulator [WINE], nah it couldn't be.
The fact is, it emulates windows.

I'm not anti-windows, I'm anti-wine for wanting to be like windows.

This is too funny. WINE will not make your Linux pc anything like a windows pc. It simply provides the structure that some of these apps need to run. It's just an application people.

I just picked up CrossoverOffice. Awesome. In 5 minutes I had Photoshop 7 running along just fine. I am getting ready to try some games.


I am attached to Linux enough these days, that I wouldn't even boot to Windows for Photoshop unless it was an important work project that required speed (I'm still learning the Gimp), but it sure is nice to be able to fire it up anytime I want while in Linux.

It would also enable me to use Word for testing OpenOffice documents that HAVE to look properly formatted on peoples Windows PC's (like resumes, work reports, etc). All this without ever using Windows. I like that. There is no way I'm sending off a bunch of resumes without knowing what they are going to look like in the application that EVERYONE will be reading them in. For this purpose alone it's worth it. Do you want M$ to port Office to Linux? I don't want them anywhere near it, and it's damn unlikely it would ever happen.

Of course, I would purchase all the products I need if they were ported to Linux such as games, Photoshop, (not office. just use a pirated copy of that ) etc. just to support it. I would definitely rather run a native app than to run a Windows app on top of another piece of software.

New Vote: Need For Speed Underground.

Just got done playing the demo, the full version doesn't come out until later this month. The graphics are by far the most realistic I have ever seen in a driving game. The physics leave a bit to be desired, but maybe the full version will be tighter.

zanzarah http://www.zanzara.de its quite a fun game actually , something different from
the typical lets upgrade the graphics and ship ut2000456.

work about 95%


oops sorry, somehow i have double posted, sluggish net connection unfortunately

whooah in a burst of pro-activeness i just emailed them to that effect, no harm in trying

The GIMP > Photoshop.
Learn how to master The GIMP.
You will see what I'm saying.

I am sure you are right about The Gimp. I downloaded the manual the other day, and while there is no page #'s in it, it appears to be almost as extensive as the Photoshop Bible (1100pgs). I already noticed some things it will do that Photoshop won't. Old habits die hard though. I spent 3 years getting aquainted with PS and it's hard to get motivated enough to do it all over again. Especially when I am using PS7 in Linux right now

I think when PS7 starts to become dated, I will get motivated enough to master The Gimp. I do play with it a little every day, so it is starting to become familiar. It is an unbelievable piece of software. These are such massive applications though, that learning a new one is almost as uncomfortable as it is when you first trade off Windows for Linux

Chu, are you aussie?
