    Re: Linux-???

    There are numerous games though that will work with linux out of the box. I remember I used to use linux and play Never Winter Nights a lot. I also like the option of virtualbox, GREAT program. Linux is better by far I.M.H.O. in just about every aspect. I prefer Kubuntu, because it recognized my hardware right away and worked with no pain. It was also fast, install took I think 20 minutes or so.

    Re: Linux-???

    I played Neverwinter Nights too. :cool:

    Linux provides security, stability, and the ability to customize to your heart's content. Currently using Fedora 9. Used OpenSUSE before that, to be honest, I really haven't chosen. I like them both. :nuts:

    I set aside a partition for a highly modified Vista, and just use that to play a couple old fav games that don't work in Wine. I have a system capable of running Crysis at max. I mess around with code and graphics (Photoshop and Blender), and see video editing in my future.

    I wasted too much time trying to fix Windows, move to Linux and enjoying everything about it. :wiggle:

    I think it is hard to call myself a programmer without ever having a Linux system and I could not live without Windows Vista.

    I'm getting a dual boot soon and I would recommend the same to you. Risk free.

    To use Linux only, you use the Linux bootloader with no Windows keys in it. For Windows, a fixboot should reload the boot file in the C drive for just windows.

    Re: Linux-???

    if you want to boot linux without seeing the bootloader, add timeout=0 to it for grub,

    for lilo

    do the same thing, and then run lilo after saving it.
