Canadian Linux
Hi all, I am newish to linux running red hat 9 since 2004 first using it as a router to give my computer acsess to the internet through 1 ip adress when I was living with my parents. so If they wanted I-net acsess I had to run RH. At that point I was A linux user. My on;y problem is with games. I guess I just need to bitch more to the developers. any way I am wondering are ther any good canadian based linux sites?

You mean like canadian discussion forums, IRC channels or maybe even Linux User Groups?
And by the way, for your game issue, just dual boot with Windows, that way you can run Linux for pretty everything and Linux for the games, the way I solved the gaming issue is to just use consoles, I have a GameCube and a good bunch of games which I love to play, and with the next-gen consoles, I think it's really gonna get interesting.

Judd Vinet (founder of Arch linux) will be a guest in a couple weeks. He lives in B.C..
FYI, we have more Canadians on than any other show. I've lost count. We're still waiting for our honorary Canadian citizenship to come through

Yeah and the TCO of Windows is smaller than that of Linux, right?Snarkout wrote:I dunno - canada is one of those states I have trouble with. IIRC it's somewhere between nantucket and maine. It's small though, I know that much.
