I'll chime in again for Ubuntu. I tried 4 distros on my laptop
when I got it and found Ubuntu to be the most complete for me in
terms of letting me streamline things a bit and having a nice
large package selection without compiling everything from
scratch. I'd like to try Suse 10 on the laptop as w
I've been using Suse as my main work desktop for about 1.5 years now.
I've also been maintaining my wife's laptop with Ubuntu for the last
~6-8 months. Right now I'd have to say I prefer ubuntu. As nice as
Yast is for hardware type stuff, apt-get and the gui wrappers for it are

Neverwinter Nights has native Linux support. Battlefield II is splashed all over the latest Cedega
press releases, so I assume it works pretty well. Check out www.transgaming.com for a list of games
supported by the Cedega libraries (a gui wrapper around Wine, more or less). Cedega isn't free but
Well, Never Winter nights at least is available in linux native
excutable form.

There is one issue in that there are two sta
Yes, all those package managers you mention are front ends for apt, which is itself a front end for
dpkg. They can be used interchangeably, just not at the same time (since apt only likes to have one
process going at once).
Ubuntu has a very active, helpful, large community of users and its for

I have Ubuntu running on two laptops. I am impressed by it. I don't
know how it does with Windows games, though.

Greetings all,
I am just now coming back to the Linux world and hope to be able to accomplish a few things.
1) reliability, stability, security - Always able in previous Linux editions.
2) Emulate the Windows environment well enough to play modern games on it.

Dang. I want one of these! I've wanted a Risc Based workstation for
years, just been unwilling to pay the hefty premium for Apple
equipment. This is better than a mini as it has been designed to take

And which has been seeded to developers fo various Linux Distros
