it's a son of a bitch sometimes

your given really low end nukige will work without much fucking around but the bigger ones get to be a problem.

also mounting iso files only works sometimes so you only occasionally get audio depending on the game.

yep windows is the premium eroge machine unless you fucking hate yourself and want to suffer as much as possible.

All of my VNs are already installed and some work by simply running the .exe via WINE, some don't. I'm sure if I messed with it enough I could get most of them working, however since I still have a Windows partion and all my VNs are on a NTFS drive I don't care enough to get them running when I can just boot into Windows which will take ~30 seconds to reboot and get into the VN.

if you've got any recent processor (intel core onwards) it'll have hardware virtualization built in. That means your VMs will run pretty much just as fast as they run on your computer, and low power stuff like VMs won't have an issue.

I've run matlab in a XP vm on my laptop (and I only gave it 1gb RAM) and it runs just fine.

If i remember correctly, virtualbox has a feature where it merges the desktops of your VM into your desktop, and your vm windows will live side-by-side with your host applications.

Have two machines: run some free piece of bugger on the other and Windows on the other. The tinfoil hat machine (perhaps a laptop?) can be in some silent but ventilated place, you'll just have to get it networked.

Tunnel X over SSH to the Windows machine. LAN SSH tunneling is fast. There are good X clients for Windows.

This way you can use your Gentoo to do most things (programming, handling data and text, learning) while enjoying the wide collection of good drivers for Windows: you don't have to suffer with virtualization wrappers. You can play bideo geims effortlessly without trying to make Wine understand you.

You can mount your Loonix partitions straight on Windows over the network for media and entertainment purposes.

If you're not used to tinkering and you're learning all this from scratch, you might have to put in a week.

What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Just debian sid. Was going to be ubuntu on my desktop and gentoo on my laptop, and gonna try to get into only using linux. But no distro I throw at it can detect the (wired) ethernet card on my desktop. Apparently it's extremely weird for linux to not be able to do this, but it works on windows with the driver from the mobo site? This mobo has been half broken shit though from the day I got it.

So, just debian for now.

>>10659320

They pretty much never are. The creator's of wifi cards tend to be real dicks about drivers, and there's only a handful of cards that work with free drivers.

Well, it's not a server, I don't need the trade-off of how far behind squeeze is for the stability.

Sid basically is wheezy, a lot of stuff is on the same exact version anyway, there just tends to be more stuff in the sid repos that isn't in the wheezy ones. I've actually had a broken package (ettercap) from wheezy, that worked when I got it from the sid repos.

If you were competent you might see why someone would want to use it.
