the merged output from two commands:
$ esearch typing
$ esearch typist
I don't know whether gtypist died. I know tha

Make sure you're using the proprietary ATI or Nvidia drivers for your
card if you run any 3D games. You can also visit the forums at
transgaming.org (transgaming.org/forums I think). They can probably
help. With a little wrestling, many games will work.

Although it should be noted that said "perversion" is standards-compliant

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
much easier to in
So since Im forced to use SUSE at work cause we're a Novell shop I think
I should chime in here. Quoting this from Bob -
Reasons Ubuntu impresses me:
hardware support out of the box
very little cmd line configuration needed
good security update mechanism
good documentation

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.

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
