I play AA and UT2004 under Linux with no issues. Sure I get more fps out of Windows (not Linux' fault but ATI's drivers), but the games are definitely just as playable.
No I don't have write support. That is extremely experimental. You can corrupt your partitions very easily. Everyone advises against it in its current state.
I don't think one distro is better than the other as far as gaming is concerned. The big question is do you have an ATI or a Nvidia card? If you have an ATI, then no distro will probably be good for gaming because the drivers are lacking on the linux side.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winc ntfs noauto,ro,user,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/wind ntfs noauto,ro,user,umask=0 0 0
you can take the noauto parameter out if you want it to mount at boot.
HTH
I usually use Gimp and do File -> Aquire -> Screenshot. I set to to capture the whole screen in 5 seconds and then minimize it. Of course, that might be the difficult way :).
Try K3B for burning DVD's. I use it to burn cd's, but I have tried it for DVDs (it does have the option to burn them though).
As far as your USB nic, I don't have a clue.
I have heard the same BillLeeLee. Other forums are stating the same problems. I know drivers just don't come out working like a charm from scratch. I think people just want to know updates, timelines, and issues being worked on.
This was a great start by Terry showing up and showing...
First off thank you Terry for responding. I want to say that I am pleased with my ATI card and would love to continue that trend. I just want to know why the performance under LInux as far as 3D goes is subpar to the windows counterpart? I cannot comment on Nvidia performance as I haven't had...
Don't know if Kyle would do that, but I am willing to support. The only reason I don't go full Linux is because of gaming (UT2004, AA) under Linux. It is playable, but nothing compared to Windows. Let me know what is needed if this happens.
