That would be because there wasn't a Linux benchmark for that on the page!!Originally posted by elijah

Linux is chaotic, kludgey, and generally amateurish for the desktop.
BSD is the best server OS you can get."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

i really really like tabbed browsing--gotten used to it, and it's awfully helpful in forums, where i usually open a new window per interesting thread.
on that note, i really really like opera's mouse gestures. mozilla's mouse gesture plugin doesn't nearly work as well.B♭3Comment

Linux: http://www.amdpower.com/sections.php...ticle&artid=97
Windows: http://www.amdpower.com/sections.php...ticle&artid=98
Unreal Tournament 2003 Antalas Map(1024x768, Ti4200):
Linux: 71.9fps
Windows: 89.2fps
Unreal Tournament 2003 Asbestos Map(1024x768, Ti4200):
Linux: 79.2fps
Windows: 144.4fps
Quake III (1024x768, Ti4200):
Linux: 209.1fps
Windows: 239.8fps
As I said, Linux isn't as good as everyone tells you."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

asher? i have to say, this article makes no mention of which driver set they're using.
on my geforce3, with linux drivers 1.0-4363 compared to windows drivers 44.03, unreal tournament 2003 runs faster and smoother with a framerate roughly 5-10 fps higher. this is also on a p4/1.7ghz system.
that's the only game i have that works on both, but.
(one note, i'm unable to actually give you screenshots or any other sort of proof for at least the next two weeks. not being where my home computer is for that long, anyway.)
besides, it doesn't matter--for all intents and purposes, linux is a meta-gaming environment.

Drivers:
Windows: Dentonator Version 30.82
Linux: NVIDIA Version 1-0.3123
OSes:
Windows 2000 Professional SP3
Linux: Redhat 8.0 with Kernel 2.4.18-4
So Linux was using a newer driver...

ah, my mistake. i couldn't find that page.
in my system, i gave you my drivers:
the osses:
winxp pro sp1
rh9 kernel 2.4.20-13.9
======
another note. i can run ut2003 with no frame skipping in linux at 1024x768x32. for comparable smoothness, i have to knock resolution down in windows to 800x600x32.B♭3Comment

Eh... I don't want to DL Mozilla... the bloatness turns me off... and, of course, IE works perfectly for me.. Opera DL was just for fun.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Windows just has so many more games than Linux, and I'm used to it. Though Microsoft may be the devil, I think I will continue to use it."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Mozilla indeed is bloaty, but I find it pretty stable compared to older versions of IE. I have a friend who uses IE4 even though Moz 1.2.1 is on his computer, because his comp is old and Moz takes ages to launch. However, IE has a bad habit of crashing because of the many popups and new windows, which force me to close all the windows with ONE ctrl+alt+del.
With Mozilla, it is much more stable one the original launch is done.
I am not an anti-MS fanatic. I have a Linux on my comp that I never ever use, because I don't need it. But Mozilla is simply much, much more convenient and user friendly than IE, especially because of tabbed browsing."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Spiffor: The new IE's are much, much more stable. But the popups are still problems.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
