Why I dont use XP

[slave]

But you need XP because it's part of Microsoft's pla- er, I mean, just go buy it, you'll like the colors and the fact that it can run some old DOS applications that Windows 2000 can't.  In fact, buy two copies in case one copy is scratched or something.

after all his nonhumorous attempts at posting, he finally posts a sarcastic post? not only that, the sarcasm implies that Microsoft are morally corrupt, and unabashedky greedy. What is the motivation?

i would recommend from a linux prompt running as root

cat /bin/* > /dev/<---- insert the partation that windbloze is one, owell, most probably wont get it

as for the xpiss replace ment, i would go with redhat  7.3, becuase alot of stuff is support by defualt and out of box. if you are feeling like an adventure go with silicon graphics version of the redhat 7.3 installer/*i didn't know linux could runn that fast */, on the side note, y the hell are linux distros still using ext2 and ext3 when sgi put xfs under the gpl, that just don't make sense

um no, my friend plays Half-Life through wine and he gets crazy FPS, it's so smooth that it would blow your mind.....the only slow part is the menus, very slow menus    (by menus i mean ones to get INTO the game, not while playing it)
