My Pc, Unreliable, my OS, switched.
« on: 4 February 2006, 12:20 »
I have decided to screw it all and switch to Ubuntu. I will still have Xp in VMWare to play games, but I will allways be using Ubuntu and a main OS now.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

If you mean playing directx games in Vmware then you're on thin ice. VMware only supports very simple directx games with and the performance is bad. Try Wine/Cedega instead or keep a native Windows installation. The latter is the best if you wan't the best experience out of your games.

 You should do that anyway - LILO is pretty much the bane of modern civilisation.  ;)

Cedega is good for playing older games, but it doesn't do too well with the newest games. For example, Guild Wars is really fucked when you try to play it on cedega, and other games like Call of Duty 2 simply won't install.

uuhhhh ... no ... it's version 5.0.2 ... but it is "legal" ... why do you ask ... does the newest version work with Guild Wars and Call of Duty 2 ?





P.S. Legal = anything as long as you don't get caught.
