Let me code VB for the last time. Ever.
Set ReasonsNotToUseLinux = Nothing.
Yup. I finally figured out how to get onto the internet using Linux, and tested it with my Ubuntu live CD. Let me back some crap up and Windows will forever be slain. I mean forever. My install CD is corrupt. =p
iago, tmp, whoever, if you don't want me using Ubuntu Linux, you had best mail me slackware before I've got too much stuff installed to reformat again. Ubuntu being the only (non Knoppix) distro I have on disk is the one I'm installing. Sorry. =p Thanks Blaze!

In other words, my edit is correct, and I'll never use Windows again? Kay.
On a side note, I'm not hesitating, I'm backing up WoW to my iPod. =p
EDIT -
Get on MSN.
Have fun playing WoW on Wine. That would BLOW.
And no -- I meant once you've been to the darkside, you'll never go to or go back to the light side. :P
No, I can't get on MSN. I'm at school.
Yeah, have fun with that. Even if I primarily used Linux, I'd never get rid of Windows entirely. It's too common in usage.
Hi from Linux.
EDIT -
Too quiet. Installing XMMS.

I've been debating that point for a long, long time. I can't remember the last time I booted Windows, but I think it was before summer. I still keep it around, though, because you never know.
Gaming is the only reason I use windows...

I use it for a whole hell of a lot more than that, and you don't see me complaining! :P
You can do VB on Linux.

If you were talking to me, I don't use VB for anything anymore. :p
VB is good for quick applications to test things, then you should rewrite the application in a real language. ;)
I'll test them in real languages too, kthx. :P
You'll be back to Windows in no time.

I was replying to Joe's reasoning for previously not using Linux as noted in post #1.
Great! But there's not escape from Windows unless you don't like a variety games. Games that work well, and ATi drivers.
If I ever wanted to get into gaming, I'd buy a console. It's so much easier!
StarCraft isn't a game iago? Starcraft is life! What am I talking about! =p
What do you guys not get about my install disk being corrupt? Not the slack disk, the Windows XP disk. I _cant_ go back.
What's stopping you from asking us to send you WinXPSP2.iso and then burning it to a CD-R? :p
The SP2 part, mostly. And the fact that nobody would do it.
Professional please!
SP2 is really not that bad.

What? No way. Console FPS < PC FPS. :P
Except UT2k4.
Uhh... You just said the same thing as Blaze...
I think that PC games > Console Games.
I've been exclusively Linux for a few years now. I think I'm the only person I know who is.

I'm 99.9% Linux. I haven't booted Windows in months :P
(I do use Windows, on occasion, but not by choice. At work or school, they don't give me the opportunity to choose)
Hi from Konqueror! I'm loving the % on the loading bar down in the corner, and how it says 38 Images of 38 loaded. Thats pretty sweet.
And as for VB being the only reason I didn't (almost typed don't, man, I gotta get used to this) use Linux, it was because I couldn't use the internet. VB was something I was willing to let go of, just didn't have to.
Ugh @ konqueror not letting me use tab+enter. Firefox for life, k?
Konqueror is icky ;P
Yeah mate. Its better in KDE (I was running it in GNOME), but I think I'm sticking with Firefox.
*wants to tab+space*
*click*
EDIT -
Home sweet firefox.
Hmm, on this forum I use alt-s to submit :)
It's odd. What got me to first give Linux a try was how well I thought KDE was put together after using it in the math lab at school.
Now FC4 starts with Gnome. I don't know how to change it over to KDE... but I don't think I want to, either. :)
If I had to pick one of them, I'd go with Gnome. But no thanks!
If you like the look and feel of Gnome, though, you should try xfce. It's a lot like Gnome, but much much lighter on resources. I really liked using xfce when I used it.
MyndFyre, in Ubuntu, I simply did sudo apt-get install kde, and it handled downloading depdancies and everything. Do you have some sort of apt-get program in your distro?
yes, Fedora invented apt-get. It was stolen by Ubuntu :P
I think he means, how do you change the Window Manager?

I believe that xinitrc is only used on Slackware. But I could be wrong about that :P
Well, X initiation run commands.
And there is an .xinitrc on my FreeBSD box, so =P!

What it stands for has absolutely nothing to do with which platforms use it in their startx script.
I thought I read somewhere that it was Slackware-specific, but apparently it's not. Oh well!

Gnome is crap. xfce (lightweight GNOME gnome lookalike IMO) or KDE for life.
(Actually, KDE or Fluxbox for life. But who's counting? :P)
Look at what I said to try out KDE. ;)

Slackware: xwmconfig
As you all know, Blaze is mailing me Slackware (should be here tomorrow, right Blaze?). He stuck a Windows XP Corporate Pro disk in there. I'm sorry, but I simply can not part with WoW. I'm reformatting and dual-booting Slackware and WXPCP (too long to type!). I'll be in Slackware most of the time, for days at a time perhaps (I don't play WoW as much as some of you may think), but yeah, I'm reinstalling Windows.
@Newby: I don't remember if you said it on the forums, IRC, or AIM, but you're right, Linux on narrowband (thats what its called, so be quiet) isn't fun.

not giving up on using Linux, I'm simply giving up on trying to get WoW working with it. Well, it does work under wine, but rightclick interaction with NPCs is broken and my FPS gets totally owned (10FPS max, standing still with nothing happening, 2FPS moving).

You set yourself up for your inevitable downfall. :]
As for your graphics card getting 2FPS, do you have graphics card drivers installed?

If it says something like Mesa, you don't have it installed. It
definetely helps shit out, considering I can't game without my graphics card drivers installed (and compatible with my kernel) :O!

I'm pretty sure I meant "something like Mesa" just like I said. :P
IIRC, using Mesa means software rendering (using the CPU instead of the graphics card for rendering images) and with games, that's slooooooow.
Incredibly slow! And yea... ATI drivers out-do Mesa by a long shot... <3 Newby.

Mesa might be an independent 3d solution, but Vesa (http://www.vesa.org/) (or the Video Electronics Standards Association) that put together a standard by which all video cards should be able to play with a generic driver. Mesa (http://www.mesa3d.org/) is a 3-D API that runs on top of your driver and is similar in nature to OpenGL.

Temporarily.
I'm going to reinstall Windows, killing Linux. Sad, sad day. I'm going to do a 60GB/60GB split, though, so I can install Slackware when my package from Blaze gets here. =)
Reason: Guild Wars. Way to go Blaze. <3
9 days for his package to arrive?
No, I think joe quit. :)
No, Blaze is a very slow mailer.
Now that I think about it, so is Ron. Thief 2 still hasn't arrived! >:(
And I've been waiting for that CD with Eclipse for a few months now. =p

I never agreed to send that, and don't intend to.
Prove otherwise!
I was under the impression you agreed, but I have it now, so it doesn't matter either way.
PS: Contact gamesnake. We're having ops bot problems.

I can run them again, if you want. I was testing to see if they were bogging down the server. Turns out they weren't. So unless you went and rechanged the password, let me know when they're down.
I know Ive never posted here before and I know i'm just guiding this more off topic but I just want to note I wont bitch about acess but it would've been nice to remove a certin pest from the channel the other morning.
