Tom's Hardware Reviews ATI and Nvidia on Linux

Beuno writes "I stumbled upon a GeForce vs Radeon review on Tom's Hardware, which seems normal enough. The big surprise is that it was actually a comparison of those two video cards on Linux (Fedora Core 5). The review isn't as thorough as I would like, but it does review all aspects ranging from tools available, complexity of getting them to work and benchmarks on performance. To me, this is a clear signs of Linux finally making a long expected breakthrough into common desktops."

No thanks...

This is all very well but Linux's big breakthrough on the desktop won't come until we can play Duke Nukem Forever on Linux.

2007 it is!

Yes, how can anyone doubt that 2007 will be the year of linux on the desktop?

What are you talking about? It plays exactly the same on Linux as it does on Windows. Just as easy to install, and even the exact same framerate.

quite good article

You're a pedantic idiot who read wrong. Oh the irony.

The original parent was RIGHT. You CAN play Quake 3 using only free software, just like >>I, using WINE, can use something such as Visio 'using only free software'.

Wanker,

Hm, 5x12=120? You went to an American school didn't you, or do you live on some other planet that has 24 months in a year?

And I saw Linus Torvad on a potato chip.

That's nothing. I saw a burrito on RMS.
