I know many of you guys are IT Techs / Geeks so I posted this here.
After playing with Ubuntu the other day I've downloaded ylmf OS 3.0
Based on Ubuntu 10.04
OpenOffice suite 3.2
Classic Windows XP UI
Run Windows apps with Wine
SMPlayer & Audacious music player
Firefox web browser
It found all of my drivers and was able to download google chrome right away. I almost never fall in love with a linux distribution right away but this looks identical to windows xp but only requires
Bare Minimum
300 MHz x86 processor,128 MB RAM
At least 4 GB of disk space
VGA graphics card capable of 640x480 resolution
Recommended
700 MHz x86 processor
8 GB of disk space,512 MB RAM or bigger
Graphics card capable of 1024x768 resolution or higher
I have Steampowered installed all ready and ventrilo. Going to see if I can get BF2 to run tomorrow.
If you have a spare box or you want to setup a dual boot to see if you like linux to replace your desktop this package does just that. Along side of gaming running in Wine 1.3 I dont see where the con's are.
