I made the move after 2 years of Hardcore gaming with Win95/98. As soon
as I heard that I could play Q1/Q2/Q3 on Linux, I moved over......
I've been running Mandrake now for just over 2 weeks, and I have my
Banshee and Soundblaster Live working perfectly, Netscape is stable and
I have no need what so ever to use a Microsoft OS any more. Quake III
looks better on Linux (Q3 compatible Banshee drivers for Win 95/98/NT
are dreadful and unstable) and the steep learning curve is just what I
needed to add a little more interest into my life. Unreal Tournament is
gonna be released for Linux, Kingpin ports are in beta stage and Tribes
2 is gonna be ported so I figure that by the time Linux really takes off
(I reckon another year or two) then I will be a newbie no more!
I think now is the perfect time to get into Linux so that when the
masses decide to give it a try, we can just all sit back, relax and
praise ourselves for taking it up when we did :-)
