While cruising the World of Warcraft forums, I came across this Petition for a native Linux client. I have recently been playing World of Warcraft using Cedega; and it works fairly well. A native Linux client, however, would be the cat's pajamas.

this is really here for my own purposes.

I recently purchased a Biostar iDEQ 200V from newegg, and i love it. I bought
it for the express purpose of having a small-form-factor linux box; and I chose fedora core
1, mainly because I have been using red hat related products since red hat 5.2
(my fisrt distro was caldera 1.3, oh how times have changed). Set up was pain
free, as most distros are nowa days. I didn't try to use the onboard video card
although Via does provide drivers for the km400 chipset. Instead I used
my newly freed up radeon 7500 (thank you 9800 pro) as the video card. One note
about drivers the sound card was detected as a Via 8233, but Biostar says that it is a C-Media 9739/A. Either way it worked just fine the way Fedora autodetected it. The network card also worked right out of the box and was autodetected as a Via Rhine-II card. The only problem I have had is getting 3d hardware acceleration to work, and since I am planning on taking this rig to Quakecon this year I'm gonna need hardware aceleration. My roomate found this helpful how-to for upgrading Fedora Core 1 to 2.6.x on Linux Electrons; I don't know if your in to that or not.

I just realized something. people always talk about how blindly loyal mac fans are, but they never mention how unreasonable mac haters are. for example, while i am a mac fan, i admit that the hardware is overpriced. there is not much you can say bad about os x (although it is in no way perfect), and when i start speaking about how much better os x is than windoze all they can say is "os 9 sucked." yes it did now get up off your ass and come into 2003.

p.s. i have also noticed that said mac haters are almost always use windows and think that linux is something you put in the bed of your truck.

I have a pismo powerbook with airport and Yellowdog 3.0 and i was wondering if anyone knows how to use it with an 802.1x system.
