My Ubuntu
I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux for months now, and I’m really happy with it. After years of trying out distro’s, and running Linux on my backup puters, I’ve finally ditched Windows altogether. As a gamer, there was always “this one game” that wouldn’t work in Linux. Bleh. But now with the advances in the Wine project and Transgaming Cedega, All the games I play work. Wewt!
Here’s the specs on my latest system. <3
AMD X2 4600 EE / Biostar Tforce 570 / 2GB Corsair DDR2-667 / EVGA 8800GTS 640Mb / Seagate Barracuda 320GB SATA2 / OCZ GameXStream 700W / Antec Nine Hundred / Gateway FPW 2185 Monitor / Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 64
I play Everquest, Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, Oblivion, Morrowind, World of Warcraft, Diablo II, Doom 3, Starcraft, and I just managed to get Vanguard: Saga of Heroes working in the newest Wine. I’m stoked to have my games and a real operating system.
For my server I use OpenBSD. Right now it is running 4.0 with a basic fvwm config. I like the default install of X on OpenBSD. I know, not many will agree :P. I usually change the background and I am good to go, hehe. I do a little messing around with .xinitrc and .xsession but not much, I like to keep it simple :)
These are both Kvm’ed to a 22 inch widescreen Gateway monitor. Here’s the link I found for getting it working in OpenBSD (or any BSD for that matter).
Omg. hard to believe it’s been this long. I love this system, it is just perfect. I do a lot of video transcoding and huge image edits, and it never makes me wait. Putting this system together was definately a success, and Ubuntu Linux is the greatest operating system I have ever used.
