<But do ya care?

sure. . . .

I like your idea too Tom. I use f-disk for fixing my f-ups. ME seems to lock up way more than 98SE. What is your prefence? I've always wondered about Linnux but I'm a casual gamer and don't have the room on my drive right now for 2 OS.

I have 2 hard drives and run a dual boot form the bios, though there are many other ways to do it though. Right now the only one supporting games for linux is ID. . . so taht means quake, wolfenstein (the new one) and pretty much anything else they put out can be run under linux, you just nee to get the binaries form their website to run it.

if you go with linux, stay the hell away form Redhat. I have seen to many people turned off of linux because of redhats obscene disfuctionality. Some of these distros are like they are put together by a bunch of highschool computer nerds who don't really know what they are doing. and redhat is one of them. I would suggest Mandrake as a distro. Suposidly Redhat is suposed to the one of the easiest. this is false, it is much easier to have a working funtional system that will do what it is suposed to that one that easily installs itself incorectly.

on an interesting note, if you hav e playstaion 2 laying around you can get linux for that aswell. Sony has just released it ;-) There is someone who has gotten it to run on the Xbox as well. . . you gotta admire the felxibility linux has.
