Centauri's Thoughts

One of the things I gave up 5 years ago to use unix on the desktop was games. I didnt really play very many, and I had at that time, maybe 20 total, and considered this a small price to pay to gain all the other advantages.

After some chats with people more savvy than I about the advances in the linux community recently, I bought, installed and began to use a graphics card. The one I got for my motherboard, and is a good balance of price/performance is the GeForce 8600 GT.

After installing the card, there is a procedure for turning off the old drivers, and getting a minimal driver running then install the Nvidia proper driver. After that, its gaming time!

I can again play Quake 3, and now a new one Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

I knew it would happen someday.
