Kinda good news about my Red Hat!!!

(1/2) > >>

Ice-9:
Now this is troublesome!!!!
I just got home, a pile of printouts under my arm, ready to begin battle with my Red Hat installation ...
Those among you who read yesterday's thread know what I'm talking about.

I can't remember if I deleted eth0 before going to bed so I decide to check.
WOAH, it says eth0 is active, I check to see if I didn't delete eth1 by mistake (the Nic with the static IP for my lan), nope, it's definitely THE eth0 with the "cannot get DHCP info" kinda attitude.

So I fire up Mozilla, enter the url for this forum and BAM, I'm here.

Now, what's troublesome is that yesterday night, well this morning in fact, I couldn't get it to work and I swear that I didn't change a thing since.

So basically I killed a tree (or at least part of it) for nothing!
But it works, I'm happy fellows!!!!
Now I just gotta install Quake3, Quake2 and VMWare
and I'm set.

Crunchy(Cracked)Butter:
If you install VMware does it run windows games like windows would do even when you are runing windows in a window anyway?

Ice-9:
No it does not, for the fun of it I had Quake 2 running under VMWare but it only ran in Software mode.
You can't install a driver for you VGA card that addresses the hardware directly, at least that's what I've been told.

But anyway, void main once told me that VMWare would not be an option if I only used Windows for games and I tend to believe the man    :D  
I think you would have much better luck with WineX, that's what I intend to try out next.

CaptainCool:
dude I just got Quake 3 running last night it was easier then I thought it would be.
The graphics look just as good as it does in windows if not better but the fps seem to be slower. I got around 60 in windows but in linux it's around 55.

Now if I can only find a good file sharing program like kazaa.
I tried installing limewire but for some reason it just keeps saying I have no Java Virtual machine when I do have it installed.  :confused:

Ice-9:
Huh, you had less frames in Linux than in Windows?
I had Q3 installed when I ran SuSE 8.0 and had 164 (or something like that) frames running a timedemo in Linux when I had only like 153 in Windows?!?
The only thing I will be missing is a server browser like Pingtool, the in-game server browser kinda sucks.
