running the perfect *nix distro 101
hello everyone
i just got anonymous webrowsing to on my system
ive got some noob questions about a router
installing *nix i.e. (choosing distro)
and which distro would be the best decision for semi noobs to learn how to write or cut n paste *nix scripts for setting up nvidia drivers for a geforce fx 5200 and successfully running steam with CS S , DoD S, WoW, BF2, random other new and upcoming opengl graphic intense PC games, but most of all i desire to run a good stable *nix distro for a DESKTOP not laptop with 512 / 1gb DDR amd 2800+ 2.1ghz asrock 462 mobo with SiS chipset and soundblaster live PCI card and DSL 1.5mb connected to a NIC 10/100 no router yet hardwired connection
if anyone is bored and is good in this field feel free to msg me on synobite on aim
thank you alot every1 for all the info
i think ive come up with enough on which distrobution to run for my main desktop,
Now though I'd like to know if anyone has any info on successfully running video card drivers on a distro , gettin opengl / direct3d or basic acceleration on there system or being able to run "new" games i.e. steam games (counterstrike , day of defeat) or world of warcraft .
I know im gonna get some **** from the uber boon's who spend hours writing scripts and think im a ****in idiot , and then its going to be "learn to read , now sit down and read 3-5 books on learning linux code i.e running the "bash" console or #root , i dunno im still in my learning phase
but id like to accomplish something i.e. setting goals
my goal is to run at least 1 accerated video game like maybe BF2 or WoW or steam
if anyone has any very good readmes websites or FAQ's on getting all of this setup on a distro , preferrably ubuntu or SUSE or SLACK plz let me know, who ever sends me the info they dont have to sit and write a 30 page readme just send me in the right direction,
the internet is a big place and i need some direction
KTHXBYE ,
p.s. LONG CAT IS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
