I do game a little and both Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament play quite happily on Linux.<BR/><BR/>But as my day job is with Solaris and other Unix-type machines I suppose I'm not typical.<BR/><BR/>My parents happily use an Ubuntu based machine which I set up for them because that way I don't have to worry about constant problems like those from my wife's Aunt's Windows laptop which is a virus/trojan/worm infested nightmare.<BR/><BR/>And my kids have used a Linux machine since the eldest was around 5 and it doesn't seem to bother them either.<BR/><BR/>So in my opinion at least, Linux is now ready for ordinary end-users.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12471112.post-7710664065773317572007-05-09T15:08:00.000+01:002007-05-09T15:08:00.000+01:00That was true maybe five years ago, for all but ha...That was true maybe five years ago, for all but hard core geeks.
