Have you got a URL for BootLT NG?

Kiki:
Sorry to see your download is going so slow, Gods-hitman appears to be splitting the download, but is at 91% anyways so you should see some speed by about mid-day :-)


Cheers


Chill.

Chill, thats the URL. It has a download option and a purchase option.
I just tested it now from download and installed it and got to the prompt where you make a floppy or cd; so it looks like there is still a free basic version.
I keep my floppy in my box of tricks.

Have never seen that on this site but maybe you need to read up on this (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz)

244633 2004-07-13 01:22:00 Right, fonts are I THINK not anti-aliased - but they still look crap. I mean c'mon...

*sigh*

So, Xandros, huh Chill? ;)

BTW - Are you using KDE or GNOME?

244635 2004-07-13 02:47:00 Gnome , then i didn't know how to install fonts so i switched to KDE. Growly (6)
244636 2004-07-13 04:22:00 Are you using the default serif fonts in KDE?
Mind sending me a screenshot with ksnapshot?

Read this article a while ago about Linux and games. It is a very interesting perspective from some people involved the the Linux gaming industry.

So rather than trying to support Windows, it is preferable to support native Linux games and the developers who produce them. Given a choice, I would buy a Linux version of a game over a Windows version. :)
