    What's the point of running games on a server/programming-based operating system? I will never understand this fascination. Do you people enjoy pain!?

    Windows already has this market cornered, so why try and monkey around with compiling a kernel with new video drivers, new sound drivers, etc... trying to get a game working?

    Just install Windows 2000 or XP, load up the latest nVidia DET's, and off you go. Not that difficult.
