i have an idea

Alsalamu 3alikom

Hi all, hope u r all fine and doing well

i have a small idea about an extra demo during the festival, i can dedicate my machine to host all of the latest games which runs on linux like UT2004 & Doom3 since it can support any kind of game then why not let the poeple try and feel the real gaming on linux with the maximum stability possible

for this i can start from today installing MAndriva or any other dist. u suggest and then d/l and install any game that will run on linux ( i will need ur suggestions here since i don't know except UT2004 & DOOM3) and make it ready for a long day of load

i think this is a nice idea and will be very helpful in making the people like linux

but i will need ur suggestions and opinions as soon as possible beside i won't start on this task till i get the OK from a heavy member here ( cause i don't want to face the problem on the festival day like the last year where i have to format my hdd and install a new dist for something else not the thing my machine was planned to be )

ok

please reply here or contact me by email @ ahmad.okda (AT) gamil.com or by phone on 0103451367 for the fastest help possible ( and i will be glad to hear ur voices again after a long time being away )

there is no heavy or fat member

I think it's great idea to have games all the day long,it's cool but without distributing FUD ,is DOOM3 or UT2004 has something to do with FOSS.

do you have the license or they are pirated.?

IMO if they are FLOSS it's OK else NO

Diaa Radwan

for sure they r pirated bu

for sure they r pirated

but i still think it is not a big deal since we r not adv. for the games but for the linux itself

but still if u guys think that it is not a good idea then it is ok with me

i think we can talk about this more in the meeting next Sat ISA

cya then

Probably not a bad idea

YoussefAssad's picture

But I agree that showing pirated games isn't the best idea even if the point is the OS running them.

Aren't there any GPL'ed games using the Quake/Doom engines?

-- Panem et *burp* circenses

quake 3 is GPL these days

Alaa's picture

doom 1 and 2 and quake 1, 2 and 3 are GPLed, you can run the demo levels or some homemade level

I suppose any demos are fine also, I remember gentoo had a livecd full of demo games.

cheers,
Alaa

the commercial games have dem

the commercial games have demos avilable for free, these should be enough, also there are open source games like enemy territory and bzflag and lighter games like lbreakout and enigma, wouldn't hurt to show them along, but the idea is fine i suppose

I need about 250 MB (but if there is jdk1.5 previously installed this will save about 100 MB)

I'm sorry I misunderstanded you,I was talking about disk space :)

I have a P IV with 256 RAM also I think it is enough since it runs some what smoothly with me.

I prefer mandrake but any rpm based distro should work (as the jdk is rpm package)

Disk space ? That's not an is

Disk space ? That's not an issue, Don't worry ;-)

I have mandriva LE 2005 installed, If it's not OK with you then just tell me!

Enabling the DRI required a ompilation of Xorg, mesa/dri and drm from CVS.

Yes I was able to get the DRI working but

I've got less frames per second with DRI enabled.

I guess this box is out then, Sorry.

Network connection

If I bring my box to do some demos, will there be a LAN (wired) connection to the get on the Internet there?

Can probably be arranged

YoussefAssad's picture

Show up a day or two before and make sure that Ezabi is aware of your requirements; he's the man doing the network.

Hopefully, I'll have my home server there connecting the wired lan to the culturewheel wireless network so we can have internet connectivity.
