The butt and the whole damn thing?

I just tried Linux (SuSE 9.1 Professional with KDE Desktop) . Its good but was lacking the integration that Windows have. I know, what I like so much about Windows is what causes all the problems.

If only you could play real games on a Mac.

:computer:
That's what PS2 is for!!

[nagal]

Bah!! The only games worth playing come out on PC

Seriously, I generally do not go for Arcade style games so a PS2 or X Box would not do me any good. I can't wait til Nov and Everquest 2.

KDE sucks ass.... try Gnome. Gentoo is a great distro... it just takes two days to install.

Real games? Dual boot into Windoze.. Or play Tux Racer!!!!!

[nagal]

Maybe I will try again with Gnome. I have always like SuSE distro, there boxed version comes with some great manuals (I don't mind paying for it).

Tux Racer is pretty cool
