distro

[gnopgnip]

well the closest thing i have seen is sabayon with cube2 and a few other 3d games but alot of the people i play with didnt like the super fast arcade style of play.
but the main thing is we cant install any software on teh school computers but they all have dvd drives and the hardware is pretty good so i was hoping for something like sabayon but i have seen almost every distro include some 3d games

You might look into Morphix, last time I played with it all you had to do was take their base image and throw whatever extra .deb files you wanted in a folder then make the ISO and it would auto install them on bootup.

T2_SHIFTERmod_DELUXE
video/audio editor
modem usb SAGEM F@st 800-840

ubuntu promise all this but dont work for me !???!(system work but not the aditionals progs)
i tryed 15distro and have a box full of cd/dvd burned but not internet nor games (except for linux console3d_live but no net and cant sysinstall)

Are you having problems with the spring package for Ubuntu?

[emmanuel]

only 2or3 dont work
but never i can use my modem or install spring...

I'm sorry I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say.

Did you follow the Ubuntu installation instructions for Spring here: http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/SetupGuide#Ubuntu ?

[emmanuel]

no but i will do it later,
for now i have folow the official unbutu wiki instruction without result:
located here: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/taspring
and here : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/modem_sagem_fast_800
without glory...
ubuntu work...good
and i 15 others linux_distro work good too without modem nor spring
only 2or3 linux not work good

is linux obtain better than winxp/vista framerate for spring?
and is some distro obtain better than others ?
optional question: how to UNINSTALL linux(without formating drive) ???

You have to format the partition you put linux on.

Ah, i do lov flamewars, :D. No, wait, i'm kidding, hehe...

i am the guy to test it. i whave dual boot on 6 of 7 machines there; i will use some precompiled packages for slackware (in process of building) and the nice fashioned TASClient.

and the hardware isn't even average: in online games i'm getting a unpleasant slooooow motion when each player get more than 300 units. It's not even counted in Frames Per Second, but Per Minute

so, if the same machine, running fluxbox, boost and spring itsel optimized for the old processor (all Semprom 2500+, i think. You find these kind of thing i strange places nowadays, :D)

we will have more soon.

and about the thread: when we have ready to use tgz's maybe slax become an option, :D

[emmanuel]

i dont understand your sentences
i ask without formating...

and the 6or7 sempron owner :want try fluxbox, boost and spring itsel optimized !?what is it ?
slackware is an linux for advenced user isnt?

sure. advanced users with low spelling capabilities, hehe...

i was talkin' about the old ones there in my house. these are Semprom 2500+, with 512 mb ram and geforce 5200 128 mb.using it you can win anyone, but you mus be a rushe. later 20 minutes of fight, the memory will run out and you will be the laggiest guy in the room. pretty stinky. But 'till now i was made this kind of test only using windows, so, i think that compiling everything and using a bare window manager to save processor cycles and memory could improve the performance.

you know, may players easily bring up a 1000+ army of pure emotion, :D but when you dn't have enough memory, the enemy just need to build the army, when he moves you will be lagged and the game will end,

[emmanuel]

in lan with a 1.8ghz amdxp 1024Mo and ati 9200 =
i reached the unit limit(5000) with never disconecting but big lag for the 512Mo pc !!!

[sombriks]

haha, yeah, tell me , with 5000 units you was still able to move the mouse pointer? here event it was impossible,

[emmanuel]

its possible 5000units with 1Gb ram(very impressive)
the new 10000units limit seems related to 2gbRAM computer forsale in standard today...
