OpenArena is fun. I remember playing that one night while I was drunk (won't go into details), but I did A LOT better at it drunk than I did sober. Ain't that sad!? lol

I know about how to setup VMWare and all, but I want to be absolutely sure that my MMO's that I play will be playable because last time I tried them, they were NEAR playability, but they were just on the edge...how saddening...

Anyway, I'm still enjoying Linux on my laptop and have been doing so. I remember my first time using Ubuntu was Hoary Hedgehog and my very first time using Linux was an OLD Pogo Linux distro someone gave me to try out on an old 700Mhz Celeron HP that was "semi-new" at the time.

Pogo hated my hardware and it was using the CLI-installer. Hoary hated some of my hardware on the PC I used and later on, hardware support become to much better, but of course, I retried Ubuntu a year after that.

Now, I've been more or less keeping up with it and like I said in my introduction (Newbies Thread in General), I've been using Ubuntu off an on since I rediscovered Ubuntu with the release of Dapper Drake, completely missing Breezy Badger. Although, from what I read, I didn't miss much since I read that Breezy had quite a few problems like Jaunty has now with Intel Graphics Chips, like my current situation with my laptop being a Intel GMA...

One day, when I am sure that my favorite MMO's and my favorite games have "better compatibility" within Linux (either with VMWare, WINE or VirtualBox), I'll be sure to make the complete switch and leave Windows as nothing more than a distant memory...until I start programming. Then I'll use Windows to make me money and Linux to make and support good software.
