Ok...I'm not sure if i have to set something up, or if its just my sound card...but KDE looks pretty...and do i need to install something to get FF7 working? or any other game?

For games, u need to use cedega emulator. To know more about gaming in linux u should try browsing the games subforums, in Linux software forums here.

as for sound go to "kmix" under multimedia in the kicker. (start menu for M$ users)

Make sure the master is un-muted and adjust your levels as u like 'em.

Cedega is not free, you have to pay a monthy sub but I can't vouch for its abilities.

have a look around, you might find a better game for linux!

Jollyjoice:
I don't know too much about cedega, just got info from my frend,so pardon me if I stated anything wrong or offensive.

nothing wrong gnukish, just thought I'd add to what you were saying.

I hear its very good but i have not had much luck myself. Then again I find recompiling my kernel fun so don't need games...
