You don't have to compile the kernel yourself. The advantages of doing that are close to nil, and the chances of fucking up unless you RTFM (after RTFM, though, it's pretty simple) are quite high. Just use binary releases of the kernel from your distribution.

Your attitude about linux is one of the reasons why it wont be an alternative to users who are currently using windows, and wont ever get popularity among regular people. I dont sucribe to your belief.

From what I can see worker201 was just stating a few fairly obvious truths.

Some game developers build their games for GNU/Linux and some don't. These SFC3 developers obviously don't. Whose fault is that?

solemnwarning:
i normally keep my kernel up to date by *.*.*, i do *.*.*.* when im bored though

cymon:
Unfortunately , my linux box died in the middle of the Vector installer. I liked Debian, but I couldn't get any GUI out of it. I was putting on Vector as a dual boot, and it died on me. The screen just went blank, I suspect something in the IDE chain for the cdrom, becuase the main drive jammed, I tried another but that prevented it from booting.

dmcfarland:
It obviously the developers. I am going to install a small windows partition so I can that game. I am not in a hurry to putz with my partitions right now.
