I can't imagine ever going back to using windows. I have to use it at work and its very enlightening. Because I use windows in the first half of the day, and Linux in the latter half when I get home, I can really tell the difference and how windows just feels like its fighting you.

Ok about this ^... I have both the 4GB patch and HSie patch (not sure about the hard coded files), but after encountering some issues with empty radio messages and empty crew messages (WO:
blank and CE:
blank) and reading about them in
this thread I get the feeling that something went wrong with the installation of HSie patch. It runs pretty stable but yes, I have encountered a few CTD's. Most have been right as the game world loads and I'm still at dock (A little after the Not so long ago... message).
Could you please clarify what you mean about not needing both 4GB patch and H.Sie patch?
Edit: I'm also getting some other issues like the binoculars (not UZO) being square and smaller and generally looking incorrect, but a) I can live with that and simply use the UZO and b) I don't think its related to any of the patches, maybe Tycho's but most probably its to do with ARB WideGui
