Im bored right now so i want to install some cool software on my redhat 9 install. any recommendations people?
-
tuxracer! (If you don't already have it ;) )
xbill is also great.
hmm... can't think of too much you wouldn't already have. how about wolfenstein? apt-get?
for randomness, you might want to point yourself to /dev/random (which i don't believe is entirely random, i did cat /dev/random and eventually saw "??m????xterm??s?" which seemed a bit unrandom :eek:

wine!
i find it fun to download 20 or 30 windows programs and see which work, and which dont and why they dont. then youll be delighted when a cool program works (http://smile.gif) .
i found out winmx worked on wine like that (http://smile.gif)

Xnap is quite a lot better than winMX IMO. Not only is it better, it's also GPL and Linux native.

I have to recommend Chromium and egoboo. Also "doom legacy" - runs original doom wads in full Open GL and with a mouse - so you can look up and down etcetera. Now I was a doom fanatic before this, but play doom with this engine and you will be a slave to the id. ;) Also it has funky transperency effects and nice smoke trails / blood splatters. I actually play this thing as often as UT2003 and Wolfenstein:ET combined! :D

eh maybe but i've done too much file sharing switching and i have a thing against java (i dont know what, it just annoys me). I downloaded 250 songs in the first two nights. I'm happy.

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
piping almost anything to /dev/dsp is fun
