But back to the original > Larry Hands up, all you buggers, I've always wondered how many other people who use Linux keep a Win partition around for that accursed addiction known as "Games." Thats one point with Linux I would love too see rectified; the distinct lack of games or a decent hardware interface to program them with. Since, in the consumer market, games tend to push hardware trends, if Linux could run a few more games, emulation or otherwise (and not as root) I think that the Linux adoption rate would go up. I think that games could push software (I.E. OS) trends just as easily. Driver problems aside how many people out there would erase WIN(LOSE) from thier systems if games were available on Linux as readily as WIN(LOSE)? -- Jim Raney "Mad" Seumas MacDonnell in the SCA If yer a spammer, go ahead and spam "spamthis@mad-seumas.net" The spool leads to "/dev/null"...
