What is The Best Linux...


Recommended Posts

If you want to use WineX, don't run it in Slackware 9.0. The Windows games won't install from a CD-ROM in Slackware, but they will in Mandrake. If you want gaming, go for Mandrake.

Can you please enlighten me as to why that is? There must be a reason. ;)

I cannot fully understand why, but I think that the devices are generated almost immediately through an RPM, but they aren't through source. And yes, I did mount the CD-ROM before trying to install the games, but WineX 3.2 has been released and I'll give that a shot to see if there is any difference. ;)

Sinceyou are going with Mandrake, if you would like to install from the Hard Drive without buring CDs, then read my post below the "unix/linux distros" part of this forum.

I found a mirror on the MandrakeLinux web site that uploaded at 220kbps.
