Many question simple to more complex

[juin]

1 On diskette dont that change something that it format on MS-dos or any windows

2 How raid work for dual boot 2k/red hat

3 the version 8.00 is on beta or ready to download

4 Driver performance on ATI ???

5 Game instalation on linux ???

6 application on linux.

7 Have you try to compile it yourslef with best compiler.

Any others will be useful

1) you can format a diskette for DOS. Just use mkfs.msdos /dev/fd0, or your distro's GUI formatting tool.
2) Software or Hardware raid? Real hardware raid will be fine. Software or "ATA raid" will need to use the "official" Promise or HighPoint drivers for both Linux and Windows. I've heard that it can work.
3) You mean RedHat 8.0? Still in beta...
4) No idea. 8500 has 3d drivers, but I dunno how good.
5) rpm -Uvh .... or use WineX etc?
6) Same as 4. Or do you mean something else?
7) Usually goes ok. You have to understand what libraries or files the application needs. Often you need "dev" packages to compile applications. I think the "best"/fastest compiler is currently Intel's version, but most people use GNU.

If only I knew any...

That what was me idea get code only for P4 or netburst for max speed.

Hardware my idea is

Use 1 HD for windows
use 1 HD for linux
Use the space left in RAID

5) I'm running an ATI 8500 using ATI's binary firegl drivers, but since they use the same chip, it can be used with the 8500 -- the perforamce is OK. 2D is great, but 3D lags a little behind compared to the Windows drivers. There are<A HREF="http://dri.sourceforge.net/" target="_new">DRI</A> drivers for ATI cards with 3D acceleration, but I have not tried it yet.

Just for you, I ran QuakeIII benchmarks using Catalyst 2.3 on WindowsME and the FireGl binaries on SuSE-Linux 8.0 (card is clocked at 250/275):

1024x768:WinME=148 Linux=107.5
1280x1024:WinME=133.9 Linux=67.5
1600x1200:WineME=106.2 Linux=46.2

As you can see, ATI's Linux drivers are crap for 3D (but 2d is excellent). If you plan on playing 3D games like UT2003 on Linux, get yourself a GeForce.


Disregard my previous post.
