Lol good point. Well if you read my post up there. It tells him he doesn't have to give up on linux, just instead get a dedicated linux box and a PS2/VGA switch box and tada. All problems solved, doesn't give up linux, and doesn't lose games, and doesn't have to deal with boot times. Its what I'd use if I didn't have my laptop just for linux.
Originally posted by sandman I guess that all depends on the user. I "enjoy" both linux and windows and my games, therefore booting to a different os is not a waste of time nor a reason to give up something else I enjoy(linux). I work 12 to 18 hours a day 6 days a week so beleive me, I know very well the value of time. (skateboarding...hmmm I remember those days.)
Besides, It's 1 or 2 whole minutes, I spend more time than that cussing at the other guy when he frags me.
You dont understand, I like to leave the machine on forever. Booting sux. I like to use the computer as a server. And uptimes command respect
Cool, I can understand that. Hopefully you can figure out a way. Maybe with 2 pc's like wh33t suggested? Since you use your pc as a server it only seems the most logical to use linux for the server. Besides, using windows you gonna have to reboot alot anyway . Hopefully one day I can have 2 pc's too so I can dedicate one for each os and run them both at once. Good luck and hope to see you back in linux soon.
