Hi again Michael, I'm not much of a gamer, in fact the only games I own
are the one's that came with the Voodoo card and the Soundblaster card.
:-)
The original idea behind all this madness was to get back into a decent
flight simulator for Linux. I found a web site for one complete with
screen
shots (always a sucker for a pretty face) so I pluncked down my $400+
for
a Voodoo3 and 256MB of RAM in an attempt to make a silk purse outta a
sow's
ear. I wonder how Linux get's around the memory mapping thingy, it reads
the
same BIOS settings that Windoze does! I recenty got a "clean" version of
Win98
to exclude the HP bloat, and no dice! Linux is getting a little too
"mainstream"
I'm looking at OpenBSD now, my first partition might be open for
experimentation!
Bye Bye Bill, hello cute little devils and penguins! :-)
