I would like to know what operating system/distribution you are using?
It only applies to Linux/UNIX users. You may post and specify also version,
especially for systems that has major incompabilities between major versions
like FBSD 4.x and 5.x. If you are using multiple ones, vote for this one you use
most offten or you like most. :)
Regards.

Thanks fken, honestly I would prefer if you would just translate my text and
direct the people to this poll, so I could have everything at once, also if you
would be so kind and point to them architecture poll, it would be great.
Regards.

I use Ubuntu, it\'s pretty cool. I used SUSE before but mehh didn\'t like it as much as Ubuntu.

Great, thanks. Very good idea of posting it on other forums.

De nada!
Anyway it simply was my job... (Im the linux french official ps website moderator... wahou big name for a so little thing!)
It was a pleasure to help you Suzanna
-
I\'m a SuSE user, the 9.2 pro edition
but i really like the Slackware too...
such a hard choice to do...
@fken: thanks for posting this on the french forum or i\'d never learn about that (or too late)
-
At home, my brother is using a Gentoo, and i\'m using Yoper v2, but we have 2 computers using Suse.
PS: Plainshift is runing perfectly on Yoper, that\'s great ^^

SimplyMepis 3.3.1
It just works.
-
A long time gentoo user here.
-
Gentoo \\o/. (What else? :) )
-
I\'m using Fedora and now having probs pointing the GRUB to my old WinXP Pro boot loader. I use it cause that is what most employers I am looking to work for use.
What is so great about the others? I am new to the realm of Linux and would like pros and cons to each flavor.
-
Arch Linux here, and PS works like a charm.
-
Fedora Core 4, been with the project for years now! :)
-
ok, so I run NetBSD (cannot run PS - no DRI), Gentoo on PPC (cannot run PS -too weak) Debian on i686 (cannot run PS - one is too weak, one has a Matrox graphics board), and an obscure GNU/Linux distro on i686 (with Matrox graphics).
I can run PS on OS X or find a strong enough Windows PC, though.
No problems with installing PS so far. But I did not try the ppc machine at all.
-
Using Windows, and SuSE here, in dual boot :)

So I am using core 3 and cannot find a Dialog program... where do I look on the CD\'s and is 4 a stable release? I have been told differently. Just would like to know.
As well is yum and RPM dialog programs?
-
Using CentOS 4.1 with some customizations borrowed from Fedora Core 4. PS works pretty well running the pre-compiled binary. Get some client crashes and odd \"Falling off end of world\" stuff, but, for a pre-alpha definitely playable. Going to compile the client myself this weekend, hopefully that clears up some of the weirdness.
Overall I really like the game.

hi i currently have the game running in mandriva, xp ans xandros but i have run into a problem with fedora core 4. the error message i am getting is : error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file
can anyone tell me which package i need?
i did a \"yum install libstdc++\" and that did not seem to solve the problem.
all in all though good job on the installer
-
Another Gentoo fanatic here ... :-)
AMD Athlon 1700+
K7S5A Board :-/
Geforce 6600
512 MB Ram
Except for the plaza (FPS 5 - 20) the game runs rather smooth, but without sound.
-
Bilbous, thanks for the compliment but no problems posting in this thread
please.
Regards.
-
i\'m changing to suse 9.3. it appears to have fixed that bug i always have t out uo with at oja road.
-
I use Gentoo Linux since I like it most.
My Baselayout is still 2004.0 I think but will update to 2005.1 soon :P
-
Happy with 4x Gentoo :)
- server
- workstation
- my laptop
- my wife\'s laptop
-
I am using Gentoo since two years (also voted it here). I love it, but I am also starting to hate it. I will soon switch to Debian.

booo. Debian sucks.

Other OS.
Not even Linux - but MS Windows 2000 SP4 Rollup 2.
If you were only interested in Linux or UNIX-like OS, then the topic might be a bit misunderstandable.

It is under Linux Specific Issues 8)
-
8o Indeed - 8) ;(
-
hehe, no matter. Windows 2000 was one of Microsofts good products. :)
-
To add a bit to the topic:
a) SuSE 9.3
b) Ubuntu 5.04
-
for me it\'s debian / kanotix (testing/unstable)
-
Slackware 10 :D

Arch Linux 0.7 :D
Hmm, wasn\'t there already a similiar thread some time ago? Wait, must have been ages considering my last visit was uhh... long ago :P
-
Mandriva, Still somewhat new to linux, but things have been working great for quite a while now, haven\'t even thought about booting into windoze to get something done now, actually thinking of getting rid of it so it won\'t use up that disk space :)
-
In case I didn\'t say it before:
Gentoo linux
...\'nuff said :]
I used to be a die-hard \"slacker\" before, but switched after Slackware 8. I use Debian at work and it\'s ok, but not my cup of tea. I *had* to work with RH-based systems (FedoraCore and some other) at my previous job, and I now I know WHY I hate RedHat and especially RPM\'s
-
Red Hat Fedora Core 4
-
I dunno, all that I know is that its got a desktop and some pictures, errr.. icons. OH and a bar at the bottom of the screen with more little pictures. Ok jk, at the moment I\'m running SUSE 10. I\'m sort of \"testing the water\" Earlier I was running Debian/Knoppix and before that Solaris.. I can\'t really tell which one is \"for me\" right now, SUSE is the only one that got my Wlan card working (with ndiswrapper) but Debian(Knoppix specifically) had more cool stuff and more complete system setup. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should try let me know ;) I\'m still going through them. Also, I voted \"Other\" because of my current state of testing.
-
Running Gentoo
However, \"emerge planeshift\" does not work. I had to get installer here.
-
Gentoo (speed, stability, adaptability, ...)
-
I use Yoper, but have always wanted to learn Gentoo a bit better. I am really new to Linux so I know almost nothing. I havent even got this game to run yet. Is there any step by step installation documentation for PS?
-
PS running fine on AMD 2.0GHz with 512M ram with ArchLinux
-
Hi,
i am using debian sid
-
I don\'t know if I\'ve ever answered the question...
SuSE 9.3
About to change to 10.0 though.
Araye
-
Linux: LFS6
PS binaries run but segfault during charecter creation.
will try building from source later.
-
Suse 10.0 on my main machine, Ubuntu 5.10 on my second pc and GeeXBoX 0.98.7 on my media centre...
-
Ubuntu 5.10 on my main machine and windows *shudders* on my box i use for \"work\"
-
I use Gentoo and we\'re 3 votes ahead of Debian =D (at the moment)
-
Kubuntu (Ubuntu 5.10) for me.
XP home boxes for the family.
-
Mandrive 2005 LE for now, with official NVIDIA drivers. Works like a charm for now. Well, when it does not dump core, that is ;)
-
Hat home:
Debian/sid (stable)
and
Kanotix (which is also Debian/sid)
At work:
Debian/sarge (unstable)
I tried ubuntu and the other listed distribution.
Ubuntu has not reached the level of debian yet.
Probably it will in two or three years...
-
I\'m running Kubuntu 5.10 (aka Ubuntu w\\ KDE) - It runs pretty good...last week i was running Slackware 10.2 thou :P im still new to linux - but i think im gonna be on Kubuntu awhile.
Havent got Planeshift to work yet (tried in Slackware 10.2 as well...still downloading on this install)
-
Debian Etch (testing) on my main PC (the one I play PlaneShift with), Slackware 10.2 on my laptop, and FreeBSD on another PC.
Yes, I love UNIX.

Fedora Core 4 x86_64 on:
Athlon64 2800 (socket 754 :( )
1Gb RAM
GeForce FX 5900
Creative SB-Live Value (going good!)
Been a long time Linux user and have tried a LOT of distros (recent and ancient) and I stick to Fedora due to its superb multi lib support (compared to Debian-based and apt issues), with custom kernel and tweaked system services it rivals my Gentoo system for startup and since both use the same kernel (2.6.15-nitro3 based) they both perform just as well. And you gotta love Yum on FC... though portage\'s sweet :drool:
-
SuSE 9.2 here
-
I answered SuSE because i just installed SuSE 10.0 and it simply rocks!!!
Now my Gento Box should wait for a KDE upgrade in order to be turned on again :)
Both SuSE and Gentoo! are my distros, SuSE for the \"easy way\" and Gentoo! for \"pro way\"
-
I\'m using Fedora 4 on the workstations, CentOS 4.2 on the server.
-
gentoo ... on all pc\'s/laptop\'s i\'m using ^^ (and the \"emerge planeshift\" is awsome =P )
-
Ubuntu 64 here. I like the smaller and specific install it does over the others. i have used SuSE in the past, but with a 64 bit core, Ubuntu really shines in some areas.
-
Ubuntu 5.10 32-bit
-
Gentoo.
On a number of different machines. Main one is
AMD Athlon 2800+
1GB RAM
240GB HDD
PS runs like a charm.
-
Kubuntu 5.10
-
I\'m using PCLinuxOS .92 beta and loving it!
Also have Kubuntu 5.10 installed.
-
Linux: Debian (testing on amd64 and unstable on i686)
-
Ubuntu 5.10
-
debian etch for me with 1.8 ghz amd duron with 512 Mo ram and ati 9200se
It works great, just freezing sometimes, maybe because i don\'t use ati driver ??
-
Fedora Core 5 with the 2.6.16_2080_FC5-i686 kernel
and its bugged... or other things are perhaps...
anyway the livna repo nvidia driver needs a manual fix or you dont get GL-acceleration, you have to hack the message.h and netpacket.h sources ( src/common/net/ ) in PS or your flooded with errors due to the 4.1 gcc compiler it ships with.
plus the xordan installer ( PlaneShift 0.14 CVB.bin file ) segvaults, it appears to have corrupted ELF headers. So you cant run that... :(
but beyond that, its very stable any ultra quick to boot.
-
CentOS 4.3, which is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
-
Gentoo 64BIT on:
AMD64 3200
512MB RAM

Elive HD install, a easy to set up Debian unstable box with Enlightenment (E16 or E 17) as Windowmanager, E16 is pretty stable now tough
and looks great and don't forget fastest respons ever in comparising to 20 other distro's I ever used.
-
right now im changing distro's to see what distro fits best for me, two weeks ago i had Ubuntu now i got SuSE 10.1 and soon ill probably install Mandrake and Slackware afterwards

Well have been using Slackware for the majority of my time with linux.. But tried ubuntu and now that is my main distro. It just fits me better. Everything just works in it no need to configure everything like i needed to in slackware, i have no time for doing that stuff with school and all. But ofcourse if I ever want to fiddle around with a distro it would be slackware. I mean sure i had to fiddle around with ubuntu a bit, nothing ever "just works" ::)
-
SuSE Linux 10.0 at office with a Geforce 2 64MB :oops:

-
Previously: Puppy Linux 2.02, 2.11, and 2.12
Currently: Pizzapup 3.0 Alpha
Both after installing drivers for my graphics card. Easiest way to do that in Puppy/Pizzapup is to use MU's 3DCC package.

everything just works in it no need to configure everything like i needed to in slackware, i have no time for doing that stuff with school and all.
But getting things working is part of the fun ;D Although saying that you can see what I use for my ease of use OS.
-
Gentoo for me.
-
I run Ubuntu Linux. I have version 6.10 (Edgy Eft) installed right now, it is a great distro. It comes with everything that I need and use, but it's having problems running the latest version of this game 3.017 :(
-
Debian etch ยงยง
(But i can't play on planeshift (segmentation fault))
-
Debian Etch/AMD64, and PlaneShift works almost flawlessly: it only segfaults when I die (which I generally try not to), or when I /quit (so it doesn't matter too much anyway).

I tried Debian a few years ago (when it was kernel 2.2) and liked a lot the dpkg/dselect packages manager.
