XaviBat	Posted - 2005.06.23 23:56:00 - [1] Any possibility of either finding out how to run the windows edition i have on my windows partition under my linux partition, or getting a linux edition here soon? i'd really rather run it under linux where i know i won't have as many issues..
Aitrus	Posted - 2005.06.24 00:07:00 - [2] Since Eve depends on DirectX it won't be ported anytime soon. Many have tried to get it to run under WINE, but they can't get past the login screen if they even get that far. (Crappy DX9 support I believe)
Hellmar	Posted - 2005.06.24 00:09:00 - [3] Check this out
Aitrus	Posted - 2005.06.24 00:20:00 - [4] Wow, now I can consider trying Linux again.
XaviBat	Posted - 2005.06.24 00:42:00 - [5] question is how, i don't see how they did it listed

Tharrn	Posted - 2005.06.24 10:38:00 - [8] Be aware that it doesn't run flawlessly though. Problems I experience (SuSe 9.2, nVidia GeForce6800 PCIe): - no cursor (neither fullscreen nor windowed strange enough) - I cannot chat (crashes to desktop if I try) - cannot set graphics settings, not even in the character creation screen Otherwise it seems to run OK. I prefer to run it under Windows though :P
LNX Flocki	Posted - 2005.06.24 10:42:00 - [9] More info about how to get it running can be found here and here. Those threads have been around for years so the info on the first few pages may be a bit outdated by now. Skip to the last few pages to get more recent information.

What I always find funny about that kind of screenshot is that for all its posturing and vitriol against Windows, Linux seems determined to make itself look and feel exactly the same. Windows is not reviled because of its interface but because of the company behind that. A GUI is a GUI. Somethings simply work as far as UI is concerned. --------- The words "Exciting" and "Safe" are mutually exclusive; pick one.
Derisor	Posted - 2005.06.24 12:10:00 - [14] Personally, If Eve was ever ported to OSX, I would go out and buy a mac. Im so sick of windows and thier BS. --------- The words "Exciting" and "Safe" are mutually exclusive; pick one.

What I always find funny about that kind of screenshot is that for all its posturing and vitriol against Windows, Linux seems determined to make itself look and feel exactly the same. Linux is not a graphical user interface. Its also not a command line interface. It is an operating system kernel. Most GUI's for Linux and BSD generally ape MacOSX (Cause its a whole lot pretty then Windows), but can be configured to roughly match a whole host of other OS. Most commercial Linux based distro's tend to ape Windows GUI because they are aimed at the Windows crowd.

The problem windows has always had is that it's a major bodge job, and any instability in the system takes everything else down with it. Linux has a kernel, a 'shell' and then a gui. The gui can be flakey without killing the entire box. A dodgy app doesn't trash a Unix server. In the server world, it's typically 1 app per Microsoft box, but as many as you have performance to hold on a Unix.

Then don't use a crappy window manager like Gnome or KDE if you don't want it to look like Windows. Linux is not Gnome. GNU is not Linux. KDE is not Red Hat. Debian is not Unix.

Dark Shikari	Posted - 2005.06.24 17:04:00 - [23] Originally by: Winterblink I wonder if I could get it to work on my Mac using a pc emu. :) Probably not. Your mac uses a PowerPC processor, which will emulate an x86 at about the speed of frozen molasses. -- Dark Shikari: POS Consultant! Want your POS to make money like mine do?

Aalekzander Sevvari	Posted - 2005.06.24 17:26:00 - [24] People who think KDE and Gnome look horrid and ugly have never tried nor configured the newer (within 2 years) releases of GUI systems. It makes as much sense as claiming Windows 95 looks horrid and thus ALL Windows must look horrid, despite the amount of customization 2k and XP offered.
Trinity Trixx	Posted - 2005.06.24 20:32:00 - [25] I have window's xp and I really hate it. Anyone have any suggestions on Linux. I tried to see what the difference is between them...but I'm not very computer savvy - so keep that in mind when you offer suggestions...in fact you might tell me not to mess with it at all, and that would be ok, too.

Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2005.06.24 20:36:00 - [26] I like Windows. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Asestorian	Posted - 2005.06.24 20:51:00 - [27] Personally, I find that when windows is working properly, its fine, but after about 2 months of running flawlessly its degraded a bit to having stuff like to crash it, if a program froze before, it would be ok to ctrl+alt+del but now doing that crashes the whole of windows Still haven't bought a linux to try for dual boot yet though, guess im just too used to windows to notice it much, and just accept it as everyday computer life. But wasn't this thread supposed to be about EVE on linux? Meh.
