It's kinda tricky to get Gta to work, but you can yes. Still trying to get my gamepad working in it at the moment.

http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/screenshot...reenshot_id=304 (using cedega and wine. some of the games run better than on windows here)
http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/screenshot...reenshot_id=765 (As you can see, SA still lags, but in 5.0 and above it runs fine here - you gotta test that for yourself)

FireFox is available for Linux, you also got miranda to run on wine, 3dsMax should have a linux version - although theres blender and in school we used gmax on wine, imgtool doesnt work afaik but you can try using wine. Moomapper - no idea, i think it wouldnt work

Seems lovely. I saw some interfaces better than the vista one imo as well. I'll try it without doubt if it's faster than wxp, until now i only saw on other computers!

Fox, that was a year ago, I used to think Linux didn't have a great interface, things have changed

You can use aMSN, it looks like MSN Messenger. I've been using it for months, when I didn't have internet on windows I think the latest version is 0.96

Hail linux!

I would run either Ubuntu or Fedora on my computer, but for now, I'll have to do with Windows, 'cause other people in my family wish to use my computer too, and they are not very technical. ...and I'm too lazy to run cross-platform.

The distro you are using has an OK UI.

What is wrong with ubuntu.
It is the worse distrobution of linux ever made. I suggest, Fedora (yay server running it), Debian (definately a good one) or SuSe (ok, but I think they try and charge you now - fucking sluts)

Also, if you want to get the most out of your linux distro, don't rely on the fancy buttons.

Let's summerize this: ANY Linux OS is better than Windows .

Maxwell · « **Reply #26 on:** June 19, 2007, 03:53:40 AM »

btw, stop bashing vista. its great.

i have 2 PC's in my room, 1 running Ubuntu, and 1 with Vista ultimate.

aries, you goto try beryl in ubuntu, its kick ass !

Skyi · « **Reply #27 on:** June 19, 2007, 04:22:26 AM »

Vista is bad. It's poorly designed (both looks and functions), and does not meet the standards that many other (FREE) OS:s do. Vista also makes the computer slow and chunky, just like peanut-butter.

So if you wanna spread some peanut-butter on your PC, go ahead =).

Windows only think about style, which sucks. For an example: how much better is Windows Media Player 11 than 10? Not much, but it looks better. That's Windows in a nutshell.

ImPaKt · « **Reply #29 on:** June 19, 2007, 06:23:25 AM »

Ralleee, i'm running vista it it owns. It does everything XP did, looks great, runs all my games and just freaking does it all

I'm removing XP from my HDD soon and just having Vista.
