nathanhillinbl Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I was just wondering if anyone's got RCT3 working in Linux. I just bought a new computer, which im planning on loading Ubuntu on, and dont really want to have to dual boot. I assume that someone out of the 20,000 (?) people that are on here possibly use linux and RCT.
xascher Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 ive tried with SUSE Linux, dosen't work. Get ready to partition you hard drive
nathanhillinbl Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 Aah, i hate winblows with a passion. I think open source/the GPL is the greatest thing anyone thought of. How is SUSE from a beginner friendly standpoint?
xascher Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Its one of the more visually pleasing interfaces, and is similar to windows which makes it easier to adapt to. But I am a beta tester for the designs, and I will worn you, that in the beginning, its very hard to install programs and view media, but updates have come. Some code know how, would be approved. But an advantage to SUSE is that it's extremely flexible, and workspace oriented. If you know the code, there is nothing you cant do. That means that if your willing to make an *adapter* for RCT3 onto SUSE, its easier than any other linux platform.
nathanhillinbl Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 i've always wanted to learn to code, but still being in school, and with the craploads of homework i get, i havent really gotten a chance to. I've talked to other people who love SUSE too. Do you know if it includes mythtv in its standard packages?
xascher Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I'm not sure, but go to http://www.novell.com/linux/ they should have all your questions, and you can e-mail Novell for any questions on it.
xascher Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Linux is a PC operating system. Like windows. One could describe linux, as the best of OsX with the best of Windows XP. Sorry if its bland, got to Novells site to learn about SUSE linux. PS: there are many different types of Linux's, most are free, but updates cost money, or vice versa.
nathanhillinbl Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 see wikipedia's article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux It works great, its all free, and one of its GUI's, Beryl, kick's M$ Vista's butt all the way back to Redmond.
