A starting point for which would be http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Hope this helps. Take care, Paul Alapatt http://www.bernardlabs.org

>If you read the article carefully, you will notice one main thing, It is >marked HUMOUR! I just added that it is a weak attempt. >I think most hardcore GPL believers >would take a bit of offence if we got into mud-slinging. Exactly.. you don't need to state that you are better by saying the other guy is worse. Linux doesn't need mud-slinging >(Unlike proprietary vendors who use every trick in the book to force >users to stick with them) You choose to become a victim.. no force works below that level. I'll end this thread here.. not helping anyone :) Thanks for the discussion Erle Gishu

He explained the various technologies being used currently in the gaming industry like OpenGL, OpenAL, Cedega etc. Viewers were spellbound to see the demos of Doom3, Unreal 2004, CounterStrike.

This is exactly what I would have written had I jumped into literary depths myself. Except maybe I didn't face any NIC problem when a year ago I had installed it on XP. but , anyways, my point is, the article wasn't funny. Thanks Raseel Bhagat

>>stumbled across these articles on newsforge. A Must read, it marked as >>You will be ROTFL Guaranteed! I am amazed with the things he says! quote For the moment, though, I advise sticking with Linux unless you have software requirements that can only be met by using the Windows XP operating system, and if you must use Windows XP you should try to get a computer that has it preinstalled rather installing it yourself -- unless you are a hard-core techie/nerd instead of an ordinary user. unquote This seems to the Linux equivalent of .. I think.. FUD spreading and a weak attempt at that. I have a modem that doesn't work under Linux but been using it for about 3 years now with Win98 and Win2K. Should I write an article... would that be FUD ? Gishu
