I have Sauerbraten - Assassin Edition on Kubuntu 6.10.
I wanted to try the latest version of Eisenstern, but I don't know how to actually get to it.
How do I start Eisenstern instead of Sauerbraten?

Agreed.

I also like how #3 assumes that all windows people are the same.

Really, if you want to convert people into using Linux, tell them about the neat features Linux has that make using a PC much more easy. Make no mention of configuring things, though, since that's oftenish a pain, even to someone with aplenty of computer experience. ;)

Haha, you're sure right about configuring things. I'm an avid Windoze user, never had any serious problems, my system almost never crashes... but I'm considering getting Linux, or at least setting up a dual-boot. So I set up Kubuntu 7.10 in a VM. I have a network card that took me a while to configure, but my print server? eeeeuuuuugh... no luck at all. That's my only gripe about Linux.

#7: I agree about the printer.
Linux and Printers are like two positive magnets.

Also, at #3 I was picking on Windows from my experience.
Unfortunately, my experience dwells in Windows 2000, NOT xp.

Windows XP SP2 is the good windows.

Yeah... The big problems I've seen are printers, wireless cards, and ATI graphics cards. They can usually be resolved, though... http://kubuntuforums.net/ ;)

To be fair, hardware incompatibility isn\'t a linux problem. It is simply a hardware support problem, caused by the hardware company\'s decision to not support a certain platform nor opening the specifications of their products.

Windows also suffers from this problem. A lot. There is a reason why up to this day you do not have a 64-bit windows platform up and runnin, although the AMD64 architecture is about 8 years old and we already see > 4GB of RAM laptops selling like hotcakes (although all those windows users will not be able to take advantage of all 4GB)

Boah, wait, with that amount of RAM you could run at least 6 (on Vista 3 to 4) instances of Solitaire _simultaneously_!!!

How much effing RAM does solitaire need?

ROFL.

I've seen some very nice linux setups with ATI recently, so it seems like that problem is diminishing. Printers... eh, printers will always be a pain, no matter what you're using. Just keep one reliable one on your network and stick with it.

What are you talking about?

:looks at his 64 bit windows setup with 4 gigs of RAM and scratches his head:

honestly, I don't know why so many people hate 64 bit windows, it works fine for me.

You're all getting off topic. I'm tired of these OS wars, go find somewhere appropriate for it please.

The thread is entititled "How do I play Eisenstern?" not "How do I best make derogatory comments about Windows?"

How about you knock it off and help keep these forums posts on topic? It would be most appreciated, along with not personally attacking me for trying to maintain some kind of cohesion around here.

Seriously guys, I expect better of you.

All joking aside, he is right, this is going way to off topic.

But I seem to have no recollection of anyone actually POSTING how to run Eisensterm of Linux.
