Ah, I see. You want a game machine. I can't argue that Windows works better for playing games than Unix, which is why my kids run it. While they complain about it crashing to often, it does what they need done. I use my computer to do work. I play games on a PS2. Games on the computer aren't important, but I'll investigate the linux port for the PS2 some day. Given my different needs, is it at all surprising that I come to a different conclusion? > when you should me an os that has the fast/easy hardware support...the > gaming ability...and the speed that windows has...i would be interested. > > remember...this is a DESKTOP os..not a workstation os. freebsd can do > workstations NP..a console is all ya really need for that. but a desktop os > has many many needs. and X is about 4% to windows. You're slinging the words "desktop" and "workstation" around as if they had meanings different than what I'm used to. Could you please provide the definitions you're using. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
