Ok. I don't know what to try hehe. Red Hat or Debian. What is easier to install Byond and others on?

They're both Linux, sheesh!
In other words; just pick one. =) I've only tried RedHat, and it worked for me, so I'll probably be sticking with it until it fails to work. | |

I've decided to go with Ark Linux...says it's really easy for new comers to Linux...and it's only 250 mbs, instead of 650...

I first started off with Mandrake (bought it a Wal Mart for my 13 birthday present :-P). Red Hat and Mandrake are pretty easy to iinstall too. Just go through the questions it asks you and its up. ~Blaz3 | |
I am having problems and was wondering if anybody can help me. I installed Red Hat and got it working fine. I installed Byond, installed great. I run DreamDaemon, I get this error:
DreamDaemon: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3:cannonr open shared object file: No suck file or directory I edited the Makefile to let me host. Uncommented the certain things. Am i forgeting anything? Thanks ~Blaz3 | |
ARGG! I don't think my comp can boot from a CD, "Invalid System Disk..."
Then I try to run this app that lets you....same thing...I'll try and go with a well known one now, or maybe stick with Win98... | |
Mandrake had a pretty good setup for a game distribution of Linux - focused on graphic-card and joystick/controller support. But it is possible that Mandrake 9.1 has all of that now...
But if you can get WineX - an emulator for playing Windows games - then most any modern distro should do. | |
I would need X Window for WineX huh? How can I install the packages after I already installed Red Hat?
~Blaz3 | |
Standard Graphical interfaces such as KDE or Gnome are already installed for you if you chose a standard desktop install option, so you don't have to fiddle with X-Window stuff.. X-Windows is just the underlying driver programs that GUIs use to draw graphics on the screen - you'll never need to mess with it directly in modern Linuxes, unless you got a *really* screwy or off-the-wall video card/montir combo... and even so, there are usually tutorials about in on various Linus websites.
Just go http://www.transgaming.com/ - you may have to subscribe to get the pre-packaged binaries, but i think the CVS tree (where you get the source code and compile it yourself) is still free... | |
probably safer and easier to just re-install then trying to find all the bits and pieces of X. Modern distros get all the right bits for your card and monitor usually.

Check that out, its a topic posted on Mircrosoft vs. Linux - beware, bad grammar and a few cuss words are in there but not enough to worry about, that should answer most of your questions. <<>>Kusanagi<<>> | |
however do note that it is the only linux I used.
