OK, we will now stop the Linux technical guff in the Windows8 thread and let them get back to the pros and cons of Microsoft's latest opus. I am currently running Ubuntu 11.04 (GNU/Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64) on a Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H mobo based private build. The latest update to my ATI drivers now allow me to run SC4 at full screen under wine without the virtual desktop. Hallelujah! Currently running the wine 1.3 beta (1.3.22) which is behaving very well. I am far too lazy to stick my hands in the source for this O/S, but I most certainly have it. In fact, source code is available for almost everything available here. The problem with having the source for anything these days is that you often don't have the design tree, and have to figure it out for yourself. Tedious. First you find the main(), then find out what it calls, then ... Meanwhile, you can also interpret the make file, which can often be an arcane script that conforms to someone's standard. Such fun, not. I used to do this for money?! I was reviewing the guts of the kernel last month, and guess what? I looked like I could have designed it! I've never met Linus Torvalds, but I've met a lot of computer science students and professors (including me) who think the same way. The secret is K.I.S.M.I.F. (Keep it Simple, Make It Fun). But you know how it is ... Fools seldom differ.
