  2. Oh my hell on 3Dfx seeking Linux developer · · Score: 0

    Some of you are so Anal about things like this! If you guys want Linux to go anywhere STOP BITCHING about a company taking interest in Linux, Geez its paranoia setting in, its not like 3dfx is going to be the next MS or RedHat for that matter.... :)

  3. Re:My thoughts on The Desktop Wars · · Score: 1

    I hope this gives Linux the boost it needs in the GUI department.

    "Single modular X server with loadable drivers, server extensions and font rasterisers. The modules will be OS-independent, and the loader design is that donated to XFree86 by Metro Link. We plan to fully document the driver API/ABI to help make it easy for third parties to supply XFree86-compatible driver modules."

    I dont know if I understand this correctly. Right now XFree86 requires a Whole server for each video card right? The new Xfree86 will alow driver modules. Is this closer to the way Winblows uses video drivers?

    Can you explain why the distribution of binary driver images is a bad thing? As long as they run on all platforms, I dont see the problem.
