Ah, I see. You want a game machine. I can't argue that Windows works better for playing games than Unix, which is why my kids run it. While they complain about it crashing to often, it does what they need done. I use my computer to do work. I play games on a PS2. Games on the computer aren't important, but I'll investigate the linux port for the PS2 some day.

You're slinging the words "desktop" and "workstation" around as if they had meanings different than what I'm used to. Could you please provide the definitions you're using. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
