ventrilo with wine -> NP
go for it, get kubuntu with kde4.1 , its plain beautiful, random kde4.1 screenshot:
screen looks nice
so you can run lots of windows stuff on linux...
(Wine Is Not an Emulator)
oh just saw, some integrated intel shit.. dunno about that...
pb dont cares about linux....

it says detected....
some are detected, and PB still kicks certain retards who seem to think 'pb doesn't care about linux cheats' because they don't know what they're doing :{
+ better/less buggy OS
+ faster, smother
- alot of stuff to configure till you can actually play
- its difficult to get vent running

(installation instructions for vent: download vent, run it (you should have wine installed before that), go into wineconfigure thingy, select for sound alsa, choose the inputs outputs in vent you specified in winecfg, you are set. not very difficult imo...)
plus i think i got a nicer solution on how to run et with alsa...
+ lots of easy to install free programs through synaptic
+ no antivir / antispyware needed
- teamspeak / ventrilo is fucked up
- wireless can be pain in the ass
I would not install ubuntu for pure gaming purposes. but if you have no problem with using google and tinker around, if you are tired of all those unnecessary annoyances with windows and like to use a decent OS - give it a try. installed on it's own partition it will do windows no harm.
/edit: there is a readworthy article clearing some stuff of windows und linux here:
http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
sure it can, but if he's planning to use ubuntu, it can even be much more simpler than on windows :}
Im running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron x86_64 atm. I like it - but ofcourse i have a windows xp install too.
I prefer Gnome desktop environment, its a case of personal preference i guess.
well tbh, when i was new to ubuntu i also used the cube , thought it is quite handy,and looks ooooh so beautiful, soon i realized i can be as fast with normal hotkeys. plus its just useless playstuff.
im just getting annoyed by those kind of posts you get on every linuxboard:
"oh i saw that cube at a friends computer, i installed ubuntu now, how do i get the cube?"
i just wanna say: STFU
annoying dont you think? :)
*I've tweaked my windows too, used nLite and other shit. :{
reason : get kicked for a violation ? blame vista
sucking terribly ? blame vista
etc
i am play cod4,and i simply just click the icon (no need for administrator) and i get 0 kicks and 0 virus. i read from computer magazine that ubuntu did not bash vista as the same level it bashed xp. the result was almost the same. i paid about 600e for my computer,so why should i run a ugly OS if i have enough power to run vista with aero?
also im one of the few not getting odd kicks on vista lol
vid_restart in match nP
alt+enter in match nP
etc
sad to see it on the bottom of the list,but hey,it could do worse XDDDD..... NOT!
yeah i know that vid_restart thing in ET,but you know what?? only game where i get that comfail kick or what ever it was is in ET. LOL? not in cod1-4,not in bf2-2142 none! so my conclusion is.. ET sucks nuts > all.. hehe i enjoyed ET alot when i was child,but then i turned 7. cs 1.6 has a huge fight with et that wich will die first :) sry my rudeness,but it's true. :))
edit: etc
And this is from a fresh install, I've never had great fps @ windows
