^^giant cop out^^
And why would I want to slow down my computer with games? Especially that stupid Silent Hunter 3, which apparently barely runs!

BTW,
XMMS download size = 2.3 mb.
Installed size = 7.1 mb.
What kind of craptacular turdbox are you running that XMMS would slow down so much? For heaven's sake, I've run it on a 119 Mhz Pentium in 24 mb of RAM! Maybe it's time to get a computer that doesn't run on coal, Turkey.
"Quit hiding from the discussion, that being your claim Linux is easy to use, while I continue to prove it's not.."
Wait, let me see if I get this straight...you challenged me to prove Linux was easy by showing that I could install applications from another OS. I did that, and challenged you to do the same. You failed. And you conclude that you were right all along. Hil-freakin-larious.
" "Linux" is all one big confusing mess."
Not really, except to the willfully ignorant like yourself. Congratulations on that, by the way...the streak remains unbroken.
"Here are some Benchmark results between Wine and Windows XP, Your mileage will vary depending on your Linux config, Wine version and Hardware.
I plan to do a follow up roughly each six months to see what are rate of progression is and post the results here with +/- %'s.
For past results: [WWW] Wine: 20050419 vs XP
Wine has the current lead on 67 tests"

It's easier than that if you'd tried.

What are your axes????
parsy, who can do an A minor chord.
1998 Fender Custom Shop 1951 reissue Relic "No-Caster"
1995 Fender Vintage Reissue 1957 Stratocaster
1997 Fender American Standard Swamp Ash Stratocaster
They are beautiful.I have a couple of G&L's. A special Fernandes, too. Trying to learn how to play them.
parsy, the inept.
I have the image in my home directory--anyone wants it, let me know.
But perhaps our friend here can see yet another way on how you don't have to go through all this trouble.
I don't have Quake, and I'm not putting it on my system. Though I used more or less the same process for MPlayer.
Assuming you put other sites (e.g. Packman, Guru, official SuSE mirrors, etc.) on YaST, YaST will automatically find the dependencies and install them.
I don't use Cedega--long story short, the politics of it is a turnoff.
Yet ANOTHER command, different too.
Whatever Flamer. Since all you can do is call names and boast irrelevant statistics you're pretty much tuned out.
WOW, you better be CAREFUL! There's a known vulnerability just out about using YaST, you could be trojaned if you're not real careful about where you're getting your updates.

Problem Description and Brief Discussion
This is a reissue of SUSE-SA:2006:009, after we found out that also
gpg version < 1.4.x are affected by the signature checking problem
of CVE-2006-0455.
With certain handcraft-able signatures GPG was returning a 0 (valid
signature) when used on command-line with option --verify.
This could make automated checkers, like for instance the patch file
verification checker of the YaST Online Update, pass malicious patch
files as correct and allow remote code execution.
Also, the YaST Online Update script signature verification had used a
feature which was not meant to be used for signature verification,
making it possible to supply any kind of script which would be
considered correct. This would also allow code execution.
Let me guess. They dare to charge for it, instead of giving it away for free.
Keep at it. Everyone's got their own theories and preferences but playing along to CDs (or recordings in general) is a great learning tool. If you duck out or take a break the music keeps going...if you can keep up through a song or even a passage you can measure your progress both in terms of duration and accuracy. It has the added benefit of developing ensemble musicianship and rhythm since you're playing along to a drummer (who was probably using a click track when recording).
Yeah, but you only have to learn the one for the distro you choose. Just like Windows.
You're "I'm so confused" act is totally out of place for someone who claims to know something about computers. We're not buying it, and you're looking more like a moron each minute.
Yeah, right. We've proven you wrong at every turn, and now you start whining about name calling again, missy.
Wait a minute...so you're saying we should be CAREFUL about where we install software from? Wow. What a revelation. Thanks for telling me this. Up to this point, I've been browsing around, clicking willy-nilly on whatever I want and installing it to my system like a crazy person, automatically answering yes to all dialogues that came up. Guess I better cut that out.
Man, it's a good thing we don't have to worry about such things in Windows, huh?
/sarcasm
TOO FUNNY!!!!
I don't mind paying for something, but when it comes from something that was free and then someone repackages it and tries to sell it without giving back to the free source--then it's at best unethical, if not outrightly wrong.
Even if they would have released the source in an unusable form (much like RH does with its Enterprise Linux source), I wouldn't have had a gripe, and I'd have paid for a copy.
This single incident prompted the Wine project to shove aside the BSD and adopt the LGPL for distribution.
