Edited by: Sevarus James on 27/12/2007 18:33:40 huh? 6.06. I am assuming you are referring to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS? If so, that is badly out of date when it comes to gaming.
Ubuntu 7.10 is the latest version, and with current video drivers (better with Nvidia) it runs just fine (or as fine as its going to get until we get the next patch.)
6.06 is labelled "LTS or Long Term Support" for fixing security issues and such. It is NOT kept up to date with the "latest and greatest" as it is "stable" and runs mission critical stuff.
For gaming, things need to be more current and this means proprietary binaries for video and the latest versions of xorg and alsa/oss to ensure maximum playability. (These versions are much more streamlined and faster than the stuff that was released for the 6.06 release.)

Edited by: Tienn Xyns on 27/12/2007 18:36:37 it's not your linux distro's fault... I'm guessing that at your lvl of linux knowledge you probably won't like gentoo.. it's for more experienced users or at least for people that don't mind working hard to get things configured... I doubt you'd make it past the install process... As for Fedora, I think Ubuntu is basically the same principal and is better maintained.
If you like Ubuntu then stick with it... whatever your problem is it can be fixed there... going to some other distro will bring you a whole lot of new problems.

All the distro's work, it's just a case of setup. In particular, Gentoo is aimed at advanced users who know how to configure it specifically for their usage.
My current recommendation is to try one of the flavors of Ubuntu, 7.10. One of Ubuntu's key features is their rapid development. They put out an updated distro every 6 months, like clockwork. 7.10 works nicely out of the box, and you can count on future updates, twice a year, in addition, of course, to individual package updates.
Later on, when your linux proficiency is higher, try swapping over to Gentoo and see if it meets your needs. Or indeed, any one of the MANY flavors available.

Actually no. I don't. And to be honest it'd be an utter cow to make as you'd need to ship it with the binary Nvidia & ATi drivers, the full install of either Wine + EVE or Cegeda installed; all of which has various bits and bobs in them about redistribution.
To be honest, I've no problems with Wine-GIT + Premium on Ubuntu 7.10, I've not done anything special to it.

Wine-GIT = CVS version of Wine, a version I've patched and compiled myself. Easy enough to do. Premium = EVE-Online: Premium, basically the upgraded graphics, SM3 stuff.

just a fun quote.. don't get all defensive please
Torvalds had several design criteria:
1. Take CVS as an example of what not to do; if in doubt, make the exact opposite decision. To quote Torvalds, speaking somewhat tongue-in-cheek:
ôFor the first 10 years of kernel maintenance, we literally used tarballs and patches, which is a much superior source control management system than CVS is, but I did end up using CVS for 7 years at a commercial company [presumably Transmeta] and I hate it with a passion. When I say I hate CVS with a passion, I have to also say that if there are any SVN (Subversion) users in the audience, you might want to leave. Because my hatred of CVS has meant that I see Subversion as being the most pointless project ever started. The slogan of Subversion for a while was æCVS done rightÆ, or something like that, and if you start with that kind of slogan, there's nowhere you can go. There is no way to do CVS right.ö

wine .9.52 was released 12/28. It will run eve premium (including the premium gfx). Just make sure to have the arial fonts in the /windows/fonts directory, use alsa for sound via winecfg and if you do run the premium gfx, make SURE to set shadows to "NONE".
Frame rates under initial testing are boggling my head as they are literally only small percentage under what I am seeing testing premium under native xp at this point.

Developers that don't communicate break each other's stuff no matter what kind of database their code versions are stored in.

*Gets all defensive and huffy*
CVS isn't THAT bad... which isn't saying much as without decent project management you get one person breaking something that someone else has fixed.
But more people know or at least understand what CVS is rather than GIT or some other concurrent versioning system.

heh, well CVS being horrible or not, I was just remembering the conference I have seen at which Linus presented GIT and he made quite a few comments about cvs developers being "stupid an ugly" I think ... so it was just a fun thought to imagine him reading git = cvs and going crazy

you can't really break anything with GIT.. it uses a distributed architecture to prevent things like that

Eve work pretty fine on my Opensuse 10.3 using an Nvidia 7300 Go card. Well...actually, I didn't played too much tbh...I just tried to go out the station to see if it works and I docked back right after having warped to a gate.
Since I didn't played more than 5min, and it's the first time I read this forum section, I can't tell you which bug I encountered. I can only say that the second time I have launched the client, everything has frozen and I had to reset my laptop, then it worked again. But I'm not sure Eve has something to do with that because I have already had this bug once before.
Good luck ;)
(sorry for my English, hope I'm understandable :s)

It runs in Debian... Your problems are probably configuration related or hardware. As it dont really care which distribution you are using, you only need to know how to make it work.

Edited by: Farsyte on 08/01/2008 03:15:03 I've been having *very* good luck with KUbuntu on two fairly different machines.
*) Desktop. Pentium 4, running 32-bit KUbuntu 7.10
*) Laptop. Random AMD chip running 64-bit KUubuntu 7.10
In both cases, installation of the .deb package was trivial, working out how to run multiple sessions took looking down the forum a few lines, and both boxes are up and running.
( and as for CVS ... well, some projects, CVS is almost the right thing. Just shifted the boss over to SVN and it fits our needs perfectly. Anyone who says any single source code management tool is the silver bullet is an idiot or selling something. )
(( odd ... just updated my profile, doesn't show yet ... huh. ))
