Clif Davis Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Greetings from Dallas, TX.After several crashes over a 2 month period with my windersXP, a mate calmly suggested over a few laps of rFactor .. "try Linux Mint". And my stellar reply was "aaahhh, say wot?" Needless to say, he explained and I did. Then went to Ubuntu 9x and was further suggested to try 10.04. And here I am.I have reciently had an issue with it but with another forum, got it fixed and now I have this up and working and it reminds me of how my (cringe when I say this) Apple machine worked when I supported the iPhone.Me, I run a forum based around rFactor mods and most specificly the 67 F1 cars. The only thing that requires me to go back to XP at all is I haven't found a way to get rFactor to work with this lovely beast. I have heard it is possible with WINE but up till now I haven't had a chance to use it.Blessings to all.Clif Daviswww.clifdavis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well I have found several things around about it.. including running a dedicated rFactor server on Linux with WINE..BUT for the most part it looks like you would need Windows to really get the best out of it.. Even read a few threads on Ubuntu forums .. about other games and rFactor as well..Gran Turismo fan here.. rFactor looks like it has more to it than the version I have currently ( and I run it on a PS2 as well .. need a PS3 )..Did find this about Cedega http://www.cedega.com/explore/http://www.cedega.com/gamesdb/games/view.html?game_id=4887But I have also found that support isn't that great for it.. so I dunno.. If your system meets the requirements.. I think you would really find Windows 7 superior..( to Windows XP ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
