Wowubuntu

[bdb]

Since there is a new distro out everyday -- I think it's about time for an Ubuntu based WoW distro. I know plenty of people that use their computer for WoW and WoW alone. :) Granted, the distro wouldn't include the game -- it would be preconfigured (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120615)with Wine to work with WoW. Any takers?

Making a new distro for every game and app would seem redundant and pointless.

I'd opt for a distro preconfigured with support for most retail working games.

However, I believe that people who move to Linux in the first place should be willing to extend their knowlegde in computers, and would anticipate learning from the experience. At least, that's how it was for me.

a more realistic solution.

This holds true when moving to any (new) technology.

For people who just use there computer for WoW I think Windows would be best :P

I would hate to see a grown man cry when WOW (on wine) crashes in the middle of a raid. :)

well thats why u use cedega :P but yea pointless to make a distro for one game to make a gamming one is fine but i wouldn't get it, simply for the fact i worked and am working to hard to get this version of Kubuntu working good the way it is :P

I have since quit wow. That was the only thing holding me onto windows. Yeah there was cedaga -- but I didn't want the additional fees. I will keep one windows pc for those emergencies (like today when firefox wouldn't render the georgia aquarium tickets -- and neither would IE on wine -- damn browser lockin :p)

[vem0m]

ummm u could have just payed for a month or so of cedega then stopped paying told it not to update or login to an account and u would still have the retail version of cedega w/o fees just wouldn't as suspected get updates

[bdb]

having never used cedega -- I just assumed there would be fees. Besides, this is the whole reason I quit wow. I was so totally addicted to it -- anytime spent not playing wow was considered a waste -- including using cedega. Trust me, I had it bad. Life is a lot better since I stopped playing wow :)

[vem0m]

hehe i was the same way i quit too lol after awhile i just found it was boring now i find everything in life equally boring :P

[airtonix]

funny that isn;t it?

You investigate the mysteries and the elite end up loking like rich little babies who have more money than sense.

When the king turns out to be a spoiled brat who couldn't impart wisdom to an ant:rolleyes:....

you start to feel that maybe this isn't reality anymore....

[vem0m]

huh whaaaa? what the hell are u on about? lol either way ur off topic reply is funny

Same here.
I never touch a MMORPG again, I'm MMORPG'oholic, it grabs you and (Though I used Cedega pay version and works fine with wow).

But sometimes I fall back and installing GW ](*,)

lol wow is like crack but blizzard can still sell it :P odd

[nickless]

I used to play Ultima Online :D not paying anything, even had a server once. In the end all those mmorpgs get boring, because you come to the point where you already did everything. Well I heared there is a Linux client, maybe we could make a Linux UO server as kind of morphium for all of you wow-addicts :D

Never got into WoW. Was too angry that Blizzard were jerks to at least two different Open Source projects (bnetd and FreeCraft). But I will agree though that it'd be cool to have a distribution with Wine configured for some commercial windows games. Or better yet, would be just a opensource frontend for Wine that continuously adds support for new games/software. Something similar to the Cedega frontend, which can support multiple versions of Cedega. This is sorely lacking in Wine, since from version to version there could be regressions. This though is much like how Winelib works, they compile a specific version of wine linked with the game/program, much like Picasa for Linux does.

Could be very cool for a project like this though. But I don't think it neccessitates an entire Distro.
