Feelin’ the Pull…

I’m feeling the pull to linux again. I just read an article about WineX 3.0 improvements (via TransGaming have been tweaking the crap out of WineX and adding many improvements, such as a graphical management system for installing games and such.
Couple this with the fact that Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2003 have linux versions, the recent revelation of a Linux Neverwinter Nights installer and the fact the WineX supports Diablo2 (I’m assuming the Diablo2 expansion, also) and Warcraft 3, it’s very tempting.
I would definitly buy another drive to put it on and dual boot for a while before I made my final decision (I do have Adobe Photoshop Elements and several other packages I want to find alternates for).
I can hear my Redhat 8.0 disks singing to me…
Just don’t bother playing games on the PC. Load linux and play games on your xbox.
If you’re gonna come back from the dark side, give Gentoo a whirl. Takes a while to install, but in the end you’ve got a system fully optimized and configured for YOUR hardware. You don’t get RH bloat. You load what you want, and everything is built from source, using USE tags YOU specify. Best distro I’ve ever used, and once I get my move straightened out, I’ll be loading it on my servers, and a workstation here in San Diego.
TAD: I don’t have an xbox, I have a PS2. But not playing games on my pc puts a real damper on LAN games.
Roger: Can Gentoo dualboot? If so, I may have to have you give me a hand with it. I want to get a 2nd HD before I do anything, though.
I’m certain my Linux CD’s would be calling to me too now… if I could find them.
