I'm prefectly happy without a Linux version. I play WoW using WINE from the cvs tree (probably pretty close to 20050725).
Works out of the box with one exception, you need to install the Mozilla activeX windows package so the Blizzard updater works. (MozillaControl177.exe or something, google for it:)
You want a Linux version.. linked against all the permutations of glibc+opengl+X drivers that are out there? What a nightmare.
Now, it would be nice if someone there tested the latest releases in WINE instead of sending the community scrambling to patch WINE because one little OpenGL thing isn't quite right. I mean, after a release I sometimes go _HOURS_ without WoW.!
Indeed, I see the big black square too. My theory is that their technology is so good, that it's sucking the photons away from my monitor and converting them into power for thier webserver.
One of the best little pieces of technology I own.I bought one almost a year ago for my Canon Powershot G1 camera. Floppies? What are they? I just upload everything i need to take with me onto my camera.:)
So, the other day i'm trying to install linux (a linux with some sort of package management abilities) onto a firewall (486sx, 40meg HD, 8 meg ram).
The kernel killed debian's setup program shortly after startup.. But trusty 'ol lightweight slakware rose to the challenge to breathe new life into that machine.

Someone gets Linux on these things and creates the first McBeowulf?

I run "wine WoW.exe -opengl", works great.

Do I have to pay the M$ tax on my car.
Can I opt for a -$100 upgrade and use other certain free OSes ?
Answers in order: probably, and probably not.
sigh.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but by default I surf with:
- Firefox 0.9.3
- Javascript on, but all the little check boxes off
- Not allowing any site to override my css
- Images from originating website only
I cannot even see any evidence of DRM, i can print, copy, paste, etc..
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. ?
until the end of 2003. After which SCO can kiss my @$$. Oh wait. They can do that now.
Because when I load the page, I keep getting "Operation timed out".

Yeah.. well.. someone had to say it.

And if you configure your kernel wrong you end up in the Oops room with Colonel Panic. ?
Could be worse.. you could end up in the blue-fluffy-cloud room with General Protection-Fault.

I was impressed.
I 'donate' windows to my friendly neighbourhood sanitation engineer?
