Lilight	Posted - 2003.06.23 02:49:00 - [1] Does anyone know if there's any plans for an linux client? I think it would be great, because alot of people are sick of windows and its unstability. /Lilight

Doctor One	Posted - 2003.06.23 10:27:00 - [5] I'd like to see a Linux client as well, but more than that, I'd like them to move their servers off of Windows 2000. Those of us that know better, know what I am talking about. We are in the middle of migrating to Linux at work. Because of the speed and stability of Linux, we also figured that we are saving our company from 50 to 178 million dollars because we don't have to buy additional hardware and licenses to do the same amount of work. __________________________________________________ Proud member of Harbinger Heavy Industries "Dont run... you'll just die tired!"

Conception	Posted - 2003.06.23 13:39:00 - [9] it's always the same... linux vs windows. but i am sure u know how much a migration costs from win to linux. i am admin @ daimlerchrysler AG (real-life too) and we have more than 400 000 users and more pcd's in our domains... can u imagine that we SAFE money while using mainly windows... we have enough bugs atm in win version... and definitly no bugged linux version needed. maybe in 2 years if the game is bugfree.

BSOD	Posted - 2003.06.23 13:55:00 - [13] Linux client - Would be nice, but it'll be a LONG time if ever. CCP has too many other things on their plate. Move to Linux for servers - Finally, we'd be able to avoid that stupid daily reboot. DaimlerChrysler - BAH. Damn idiots at Daimler have been destroying everything good about Chrysler. Merger my #$@)#$@, more like takeover. Every car that has come out of Chrysler since the merger has been utter crud. HEY, let's invest in Mitsubishi, whom Chrysler spent 5+ years trying to distance themselves away from after nightmares like the oil-burning 3.0V6 and the head-*****ing 2.6L 4-cyl. HEY, let's put the A604, the most unreliable transmission in Chrysler history, into MORE cars and ax all the other options! (Disgruntled former Chrysler customer - All of my cars are pre-merger Chryslers, but I have no intentions of buying a new Chrysler...) ---------------- Blue Screen of Death CEO Exodus Enterprises

Lithorus	Posted - 2003.06.23 18:29:00 - [17] Of all the questionable decisions this is the one that has puzzled me the most. How can ANYONE in their right mind decide on windows being the best server platform for a clustering based server system? Ofcourse the time for switching OS is already over, but when evaluating on server stability and uptime, migrating to linux would be a very reasonable solution.

I can program for DirectX and Windows, but I don't know squat about coding for linux, nor do I have any interest in learning. Could be the same, with the exception that they don't have the time to learn, or the budget to hire in more ppl to work on a linux-server system. ----------------- In this game, "nice" puts no food on the table...

BSOD	Posted - 2003.06.23 19:55:00 - [25] Yeah, except that a large portion of the game is coded in Python, which is a crossplatform scripting language. One that happens to have been developed originally for Unix systems, and later ported over to Windows, and just like Perl, is more robust and bugfree under Unix than in Windows to this day. In general, Windows clustering is a joke... If it weren't, then why are all the major supercomputing clusters in the world running some form of Unix? (Often Linux). CCP almost surely had to "roll their own" clustering scheme, whereas Linux has a number of approaches to doing it at the OS level. (MOSIX would work very well for something like CCP's servers, as it makes the cluster appear like one giant machine to the programmer, who does not have to deal with any of the clustering aspects. Processes are automatically migrated between nodes as the load dictates.) I once saw a review indicating that each node handled .5% of the EVE universe, which means that the server cluster is on the order of 200 machines. That's 200 GUIs worth of resource waste if they're using Windows. Repeat after me: GUIs are a waste of resources on a server. GUIs are a waste of resources on a server... Remote administration of the cluster must be hell... None of Microsoft's pitiful remote access schemes can compare to the simplicity and elegance of SSH. Running Windows also ruled out some of the current premier clustering solutions such as an IBM zSeries mainframe or eServer 1350 blade clusters.

hotbrass	Posted - 2006.05.30 14:58:00 - [57] about the jack@$$ that said they already are having problems with the running it on windows and they wont even think about doing it for Linux till they can run the windows one 2 years with no glitches....YOU ARE Full of $#!^...you cant possibly run a game that is constantly having updates and patches with no glitches no matter what stinkin OS you use. So it would be just as benefitial to make EVE run stable on Linux as it would makin it run on a Cheezy-@$$ Windows OS.
Lala Ru	Posted - 2006.05.30 16:41:00 - [58] There's not going to be a Linux client for one reason: DirectX is Windows only. I don't think Linux can emulate DirectX except via Wine or its varients. They're not going to switch to Linux on the server either. Each SQL server has its own special quirks, and judging by how much they've said they've optamized their database, it's probably optamized FOR MS SQL. Switching to another database would be a nightmarish tash I don't even want to contemplate.
Viktor Fyretracker	Posted - 2006.05.30 18:06:00 - [59] there are MMOs on linux clusters that still do a daily reboot, an MMO is a beast of which the enterprise world has no compair to.
D'Nar	Posted - 2006.05.31 04:10:00 - [60] I was actually pleased to see that there is a daily downtime on eve. That gives an hour every day where minor issues and thingies can be fixed before they turn into major issues, instead of having 6 hours of emergency maintenance because some little thing was ignored for too long. But I was also surprised to see that the server software runs on windows -------------------------- OMG Sig!
Y'laaris Brood	Posted - 2006.05.31 05:54:00 - [61] Originally by: Oveur Oh, and speaking of clients and platforms - and this is actually just on the rumour stage, but we want to share it anyway - we hooked up with Transgaming at E3 and they told us about some really cool upcoming stuff. I can't tell you about it, but EVE works quite well today on Linux with their CEDEGA platform :) Right at the bottom of the dev blog here

I can't tell you about it, but EVE works quite well today on Linux with their CEDEGA platform :) Right at the bottom of the dev blog here EVE plays on the "CEDEGA platform" but that is about it. since your running in a shell the game crashes many times when docking and undocking, also near gates that are busy you lock-up and need to shut it down (not the os, just the session). Too buggy for my taste right now, I have been keeping my eye on it, I hope they will give support to EVE. Quote: Supported by TransGaming = No

I think it would be great, Oh look, a good point, which involves windows versus linux without ... wait .... Originally by: Lilight because alot of people are sick of windows and its unstability. Oh dear, I'm sorry, you've failed, you have tried to say something involving an OS you don't like without involving your ignorance/prejudices/stupidity. If you had only said 'because a lot of people prefer to use Linux' you'd have been fine, but not being able to get through one sentence without spouting Linux propaganda is just sad. Anyway, a linux client would be good, but is unlikely I think. Especially since CCP are doing a client which will even require a specific version of Windows . Observe the lack of derogatory comments towards CCPs chosen OS, and learn. ---------- Sorry but that link contains nawty language. -wystler "Discussing moderation is not allowed" - Ivan K "Ranting is prohibited" - Teblin

I think it would be great, because alot of people are sick of windows and its unstability. The game is DirectX, so rebuilding it for Linux would be a major effort for little benefit. Also, none of the current issues with the Eve client are related to the OS, so there is no reason to believe that a Linux version would be more stable. Finally, Windows itself hasn't had any stability issues since W2K (I routinely build XP boxes that never crash). Performance and security are more valid concerns.

Noveron Caldari Celestial Horizon Corp. Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.12.26 14:53:00 - [68] Maybe its not tru, but I read some article in which someone from ccp was interviewed and he said CCP was working on a MAC and Linux client for Eve Online. Maybe mmorpg.com, not sure.
Clansworth Good Rock Materials	Posted - 2006.12.26 16:37:00 - [69] In My experience, Windows XP is perfectly stable. Third party drivers are not. A bad driver can bring down anything. Also, having the GUI as the OS does not inherently add any instability, other than it depends on the more complicated, and overoptimized (tweaked for performance>stability) graphics card drivers. I routinely have MANY things running on my system, as it is a Home Automation server, web server, home media server (which is nearly constantly recording from up to 5 tuners), game machine, email/web client, RAS Server, and music/video editing station, and the last time I rebooted the system was 2 months ago when i had a power outage (stupid windows doens't have a built in UPS, I blame Bill) Anyways, since my windows OS does all these things, AND can play eve (along with any other game i choose), I have no reason to switch to Linux at home, and neither do most home users. Linux has a long way to go in the plug and play and instant gratification feel that most home users want. With all the variances between distributions and so many ways to configure the system, it is a little too much complication for the average guy who just wants to browse the web, read email, play some games, and listen to some music. Linux has some VERY good advantages, but I just don't think general home use is one of them. On a side note, I had a friend that was playing evefor some time on CEDEGA, and had no stability issues. Performance wasn't as good as when he booted the same system into into windows, but it did run. Only problem he had at the time is a crash when pressing the ESC key, which I believe has been fixed (can't check though, he doens't play eve anymore) [IDEA] New Ship Class: Heavy Lifter
