Greetings!
I was just wondering: Does either FreeBSD, or the union of it and X11,
offer any advantages for games (e.g., Descent, Doom, Quake, or the like)
over other platforms (read "M$ platforms")? Or are all of the
graphics/games advantages (what are they?) offered by UNIX intimately tied
in with better types of hardware, say RISC? I'm not a huge game player,
but I am interested in them from compsci point-of-view: Mechanics of the
graphics engines, graphics handling by the OS, usage/development trends,
etc.
Thanks! =)
Jeff
