one one my friend is trying to run FS2004, I wait for the results.

Let me know, that is a major interest of mine. Beyond FS2004, it sounds good. I do not buy new games anymore it seems, and run only a few older ones, so DirX10 is not my concern anyway.


I think it is not a problem to run a Linux and windows-installation parallel on one HD, in different partitions, right?

If Windows-compatability of FS2004 is assured , and double-installation is no problem, Linux could become a serious thought of mine when Windows XP is topped being supported by Ms in some years at the latest. If Linux is no huge insider thing anymore, maybe even earlier.

Any tip for a webpage giving a good first start and overview?
