I'm using win98. But i'll get linux after some weex. What about OS's speed? If i'll play Quake on Windos OS and Linux OS , can i feel some diference of Frame/s , etc?
DOes Linux boots up faster then WIns? Does appz runs faster on Linux? How much?


sorry about those mispels, english isnot my firs lan

[actualfact]

uhhh.. .  sure, why not?

l00zer if you plan on using your OS for video games i would stick with windows

when it comes to graphics linux gets the small straw

Just don't expect your programs to crash that often and don't expect *NIX to crash at all.

if this fella isn't a troll, he probably shouldn't be running any unix. . may i sincerely suggest "pc's for dummies"?

I would recommend buying a Playstation. It has kick ass games, and hell, it can even run linux   )))))

strange, i had a playstation and was never able to get it to run linux. (how would you go about getting a mouse and keyboard for it?)

[TheQuirk]

you know those USB ports on the front of the system? :-p

the change is FPS depends on the program and your video card really..

if you are using a Nvidia graphics card, you will not see any loss in FPS
if you are playing a game through Wine, you will see a loss in FPS
if you are playing a game which has been ported over to linux and you play it from an X windows (command from console is 'xinit') you will see substantial increase in FPS

if you just plan to play games, stay on Windows.

How much slower is Wine/WineX anyways?

You're back Voidman, Hello!

[voidmain]

Thanks Tux. Yeah, went back to the farm over the long weekend so I haven't been able to post. And I picked up a nasty case of the flu while I was there. The normal 5 hour drive back took me 8 hours last night because I had to stop and lose my lunch every 50 miles. It was by far the most unpleasant trip of my life!

Nice story
