in reply to Perl hacker’s tools of trade or hardware of choice..

I exclusively use UNIX or Linux for programming - right now i am using RedHat. I have tried Slackware, SuSE, Mandrake, and Debian, but i really like RedHat the best. One day i will brave BSD :). I use the Gnome desktop with the Enlightenment window manager. My editor is gvim.

I also dual boot - Win2K - but ONLY to play games or use those blasted Office Tools (Word, Excel, etc.). I just don't consider Windows to be viable programming tool for myself - others like it and make it spin very nicely, but i personally don't.

    This post is incredibly off-topic, but I just had to share with a fellow gamer, and figured others might want to read.

    I feel bad posting a response without a link like this, but I just can't find the mail right now.

    I've read that in tests, WineX running Quake III native mode actually ran faster than native Windows.

    This was read in a daily newsletter from /., if you're brave enough to tread into the site and search for WineX, I'm sure you'll find some good info about it.
