I think some people are looking at this already.

I still recommend Mandrake to new users who want to learn Linux themselves, yes. But if I am setting up a system for someone who doesn't plan to learn at all, I put Debian on it, and maintain it myself. It's easier for me that way.

Sorry? explain the last bit..... It's the way BitTorrent works. You run bittorrent on a .torrent file, and it'll download whatever it is that you wanted to download from other bittorrent users. If you want to contribute back, simply leave your bittorrent open once you're done downloading. This is called "seeding." If no one seeds, you probably won't get the whole file, and you'll have to request a reseed. The best place for .torrents is suprnova.org, imho.

Yup. You could learn Linux on Windows, if you really wanted to as well. cygwin Yes. Did you notice the link in my post? ;) --- SoulSe, Gentoo isn't hard. Just read the documentation. It takes you through it step by step. My grandma could install it, if she knew what a computer was.

It was supposed to be part of an expansion for RTCW, but they cancelled the single player part and made the multiplayer part standalone and free.

Because the site has been updated since I posted this.

What's hard about BitTorrent? It's actually a great program, and works nicely, and fairly, if people seed.

I absolutely agree. It's not like they are requiring you to pay for it to get it ever, you just need to wait a while. The Club members and contributers deserve this sort of thing. Anyone who complains should put theirselves in the shoes of a Club member. Just my other $0.01 Canadian (now my total is roughly equivalent to $0.02 U.S.).

Yeah, but I mostly only played UT against bots. They weren't too bad. For a good read about AI/bots, check out the reviews for Extreme Paintbrawl for Windows, hehe. http://pc.ign.com/articles/160/160455p1.html The reviews for the second and fourth versions of the game are funny too. And if you're wondering about the third game, well, read the review of the fourth one heh.

I'd try lowering the Steer Sensibility setting, and see if that helps.

I think they should release the ISOs at the same time they get the thing into stores. Just my $0.02 Canadian.

If only there was a bot patch so you could play it offline... heh. :) I know they made a bot thing for RTCW, but I don't think it works on ET. I actually prefer playing most games with bots to online, since bots usually tend to be less dumb than the goons I get on my team.

I bought that crap, and I don't consider it a port. I don't know anyone who does. I can only hope that Transgaming is destined to ditch Linux, just as Gavriel State's former company (Corel) did. If you're talking about WordPerfect 8, then it was ported properly. No Wine required. By the way, if you have a copy of Transgaming's Kohan games or The Sims, find the executable file, and run the file command on it. You'll see something like this: Kohan_AG.exe: MS-DOS executable (EXE), OS/2 or MS Windows Contrast that with Loki's version of Kohan: kohan: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, statically linked, stripped So much for a native port.

I started reading the PDF about writing USB device drivers... But we would need the protocol information about this thing, or we'd need to reverse engineer it... Either way, I don't think I will be able to do more than make a module that loads and picks up the device, if I can even do that... But I might just give it a try... Here's the output in dmesg, in case anyone wanted to see it: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x7a6/0x1580) is not claimed by any active driver. Well, if we get a few people who want to start a sourceforge project or an icculus.org project (assuming Ryan approves the idea), then we could give it a go... but I don't know how useful I would be.

I just got my free A-Key in the mail today (took a few weeks to get it) and it doesn't do squat in Linux... You can order your own free A-Key from here: http://www.authenex.com/ I wrote in a support request about Linux, but no answer so far... I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this, and if there was any way to utilize it in Linux? I'd write my own driver/software, if I knew how to program USB device drivers...

It's not a rumor, but it doesn't affect Linux as much as everyone thinks it will.

Not sure there is an N64 emulator for MAME. ;) ba dum tsch.

Get the newer version of Dink-SDL here: http://www.sfu.ca/~sabetts/dink.html

Totally understandable. I'm not big on MP games myself, but ET is the exception for me. :)

ET is a free download, yes. It was originally developed to be an expansion for RTCW, but they changed their minds and made it stand-alone. It's better for multiplayer, if you do that, than RTCW is. It's a great game, and I'm grateful that they give it away... It's not deathmatch, it's teams, with objectives, and things like that. It's great. But if you're only looking for single-player games, then don't bother with ET.

Yeah, the Loki installers all support text-only mode. At least the ones I tried did anyhow.

Glad to hear it's working now. Did you try RTCW:ET yet?

That's WordPerfect 8 (the free version). I got it working because my sister needs it for her schoolwork, and I tested it on my system before I put it on theirs. I have a thread for this in Software, I think. I haven't got the WPO2000 that I bought to work since it uses Wine (sorta like how Transgaming's Sims and Kohan games do) and now it's horribly broken on new distros. Dink Smallwood is up at dink.sf.net This is Gnome 2.4. Doesn't really look much different than 2.2 to me. :)
