All though I'm not<br>> much of a<br>> gamer and in fairness i know less about gaming than i do about<br>> Linux (which<br>> i know isn't saying much), i understand the importance of this<br>> subject. I<br>> do speak to a lot of people about making the full time switch<br>> from Wind0ze<br>> to Linux, and most of them are gamers. They want to be able to<br>>
continue<br>> their gaming and just feel that Linux is just too fair behind to<br>> do this,<br>> now I'm not saying this is the case (cause in fairness i<br>> wouldn't know, just<br>> what i have heard from people).<br>> <br>> However gaming commands a large user base of people and in my<br>> belief it is<br>> the final big hurdle, not just the ability to handle the games<br>> them self but<br>> rather bad P.R attached. I actually never hear a good word about<br>> Cedega,<br>> but this could be for a lot of reasons, but I'm left remember an<br>> incident<br>> when Cedega users where banned from a on-line game (can't<br>> remember the name<br>> of it, but it was big enough to make the Computering news) for a<br>> day,<br>> because the games company thought the Cedega users
where either<br>> cheating or<br>> vulnerable to cheating. This kinda issue i think scares new<br>> users wanting<br>> to make the Linux jump i think. I think that a mass of new and<br>> enthusiastic<br>> users can't wait to ditch “sir bill of gates, and his dancing<br>> monkey boy<br>> palls” and stick a tux in their machines.<br>> <br>> Too often i have been told by people, “i use XP for my games”,<br>> “if i could<br>> I'd get rid of windows i would” so i do believe that more time<br>> needs to be<br>> invested into getting games working (be it either via WINE or<br>> Cedega). As a<br>> university society we have the chance to have a stall at<br>> freshers fair,<br>> where i imagine we'll get some computing students wanting to<br>> know more about<br>>
Linux, and i too imagine that the issue of gaming will pop-up<br>> once again, so<br>> as a group of loosely associated Linux people it would be good<br>> if we could<br>> do a series of talks and presentations on it. I feel that the<br>> gaming bunch<br>> are being exposed to Linux on such a regular basis, especially<br>> with the<br>> PlayStation's running Linux and the likes.<br>> <br>> So i suppose the next step, if all of those interested in doing<br>> a Linux<br>> Gaming presentation email (and i have googlemail, for all of<br>> those that tut<br>> at me having a hotmail account) me, i have a few people that i<br>> could ask to<br>> help on it as well, then maybe we can do a series of<br>> presentations and<br>> workshops and see if we can gather a head of steam and get
more<br>> new lambs<br>> into the fold.<br>> <br>> Let me know what you think, oh what am i saying of course you<br>> guys will :-><br>> <br>> Arron M Finnon;<br>> <br>> in breaking news: Home computers are being called upon to<br>> preform many new<br>> functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten<br>> by the dog<br>> <br>> _________________________________________________________________<br>> MSN Hotmail is evolving - check out the new Windows Live Mail<br>> http://ideas.live.co.uk<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>> dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>> https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>> Chat on IRC, #tlug on
