Try New Technology Networx

So far so good running Linux Mint on my old workstation. I have all my applications running on it except for HLSW which doesn’t have a Linux port and trying to install it via Wine-Doors or PlayOnLinux gives some random functionality so I just have up on it for now (though I’ll keep working at it!). Also dealing with a few bugs with a Linux based screen saver I love, but I’m sure that’s just mostly me being a N00B at this Linux Desktop stuff. Though my biggest disappointment – though it was very much expected – was that I can’t get most of my Windows based games to play on my Linux machine (yeah, yeah they aren’t for work, but why not load then and try it out!)…though Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Half-Life 2 all are ready for install according to my PlayOnLinux app.

Anyways just a few things left to iron out then the apps I must have and can’t port will just have to run from inside of a VirtualBox of Windows Vista.

openSUSE w/ Gnome is proving to responder slower than Windows Vista. Going to give Linux Mint a try and decided which ones is better for me

Got openSUSE working and now it’s time to see if I can get everything I use for business working on it…so far so good though.

Messing around with installing openSUSE 11.2 on my old Dell Workstation

Even after a wonderful Christmas this year and a soon-to-start 4 day New Years weekend for me, there is still no Public Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) server online. Still needing to get more memory before turning it back on, but I am keeping it updates so the second I get the memory we will have a public Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) server for everyone to enjoy again.
The Group server is still live and running great, so if you want to play on our server feel free to get a hold of a current S-MLS Steam Group member.
