Getting ready for RedHat 9. I am gonna install it tomorrow.
Tonight I am downloading the new NVIDIA drivers, and all the shrike rpms from shrike.freshrpms.net. All on a modem. My bother is downloading the ISOs on his cable modem. Tedious but fun.

NEVERWINTER NIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!
I bought the game back in July when it was released because Bioware promised a linux client. Well, finally 8 monthes later they delivered. I have been playing the linux client since the first public beta (3rd beta was released today). This game does everything it's suppossed to, and does it right! It playes much better than it does on my windows machine. I have every graphics option tweaked up to the max; and it runs perfectly. No lag, just good fluid gameplay.
This is Dungeons and Dragons the way it should be played. AN excellent, excellent game! Thank you Bioware for your perserverance!

For any curious linux users that may be wondering, I used the camE program downloaded from freshrpms.net to get my webcam up and running.

Added a webcam:-) HTML still needs polishing. This cam will only update when I am online, as I am a dialup user:-(

Not alot going on. I bought a new camera, a Canon S45 digital camera. Very nice. I am enjoying it, and will be posting some pics here soon.
I cancelled my subscription to transgaming. I stayed with them 15 months, and really saw no real progress running windows games on linux.
I used the $60/year that I was spending on them, and bought a basic support subscription at redhat. I try to buy the box set of their distro at least once every other year (I download the iso files2 out of 3 times). I fugure that money is really better spent on redhat, plus it supports redhat linux.
Less than 2 months to "The Matrix Reloaded" !!!!
