    They'll release them in a few weaks, and although DooM 3 uses OpenGL alot, some things are hard to port, like the heat wave which uses DX9, that'll take some time. Meanwhile, I'm just as anxious as you are, so I'm playing it with Cedega.

  24. Re:I don't get it on UserLinux Releases First Beta · · Score: 1

    From the FAQ on UserLinux Q: Why another Distro? Why not work on the Debian (Desktop) project and installer? Is improving an existing distro not better than creating a new one? A: [Jeff Waugh] The easiest way to answer this for yourself is: UserLinux is not a new distro. It *is* Debian. It just happens to have a different - or arguably more - focus. Concentrating on business and enterprise users and concentrating on what they want/expect rather than trying to be a general Linux ditribution.

  25. advantages of UserLinux on UserLinux Releases First Beta · · Score: 4, Informative

    From a FAQ on UserLinux

    Q: What will be the advantages of UserLinux?
    A: [Brock Frazier] Key UserLinux distribution advantages:

    1. Streamlined: UserLinux is a streamlined distribution with one key application in mind for a given piece of functionality. One web browser, one word processor, one mail client, one web server. This reduces support overhead both for users and for maintaining security.
    2. Standards compliant: UserLinux encourages cooperation with other open source organizations, and values compliance with open standards.
    3. Designed for business: The UserLinux distribution is specially tailored towards the needs of business.
    4. Professional Services: The third party network of UserLinux affiliated commercial Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) allow for choice in professional services and custom application design options. The separation between the UserLinux organization and the ISVs is a win-win proposition allowing both the support advantages of a service provider network and the neutrality advantages of an operating system not tied to a single company.
    5. Flexible: While each UserLinux configuration is designed to support common functionality as shipped, the systems are also open for expansion beyond the standard UserLinux set.
    6. Disclosure: As a not-for-profit organization working with software developed in the open, the UserLinux organization as well as the development process for the UserLinux distribution are in the open. Critical system updates are clearly and promptly announced so systems remain properly secured.
    7. Lack of lock-in: There are no licensing fees for the UserLinux distribution or related development tools. Service is available from your choice of service providers, but is never mandatory.
    8. Free to obtain: ISO images and the source code are freely available.
    9. Inexpensive to maintain: The streamlined nature of the UserLinux distribution assures less software to update. There are no per seat charges or OS licenses to be tracked and audited.
    10. Secure: Leveraging from the power of open source, the code used in the UserLinux distribution not only has thousands of hours of development but thousands of hours of peer review.
    11. Certifications: Hardware, software, support and professional certifications will be available.
