I still have a Win32 boot partition on this system in case I need to run a game that doesn't work on Linux. Haven't booted into it in 6+ months :)
My daughter has a laptop running Windows XP. Previously, she used the family computer and Linux and we pretty much happy. What tipped the scale for Windows was that she likes to play Sims2. vmware seemed a bit much to deal with to let that happen (she is only 13). This leads to the endless discussion of getting games for Linux. IIRC, the success rate for companies that have tried has not been very encouraging.
I was going to suggest Cedega (transgaming.com) but it seems it doesn't work for the Sims2. I know what you mean about the high failure rate for Linux game companies - look at Loki. A shame, but the developers of fizzball - www.grubbygames.com - seem to have a good development platform that caters for both Win32 and Linux platforms. Maybe a few more developers should use that approach? Cheers Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
