Linux is now gamer-friendly with Cedega 6.0 |
Ó
Most PC users do not use the words "games", "Linux", and "fast" in the same sentence. While it is possible, it used to be a pain to run some of the newer PC games on the popular open-source operating system. Cedega 6.0 by TransGaming Inc. is looking to change that image.
This new Linux flavor is said to have improved graphics and performance which should be able to support the newer games. To date, this is the only commercial solution for gamers who have chosen to use Linux over the more popular Microsoft Windows.
Games of note that Cedega 6.0 supports include Bethesda SoftworksÂ’ Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Electronic ArtsÂ’ Battlefield 2142 and Madden 2007, and BlizzardÂ’s World of Warcraft. Lucas Smithen, TransGaming's Cedega Product Manager, spoke regarding the OS and its game compatibility, saying that, "The addition of Shader Model 2.0 support enables recent games to be played at the highest detail settings." He also added that the OS possesses "a superior FBO implementation" and "improvements to the ALSA support".
The operating system is said to have a new memory allocator and other enhancements that should improve game performance. TransGaming Inc.'s Cedega 6.0 is expected to be so revolutionary that it will eliminate the need to redevelop the more popular games.
We have to wait and see if the OS delivers all TransGaming promises it would. You can download Cedega 6.0 through TransGamingÂ’s subscription service or via certain global resellers and OEM partners.

to look forward to deleting my partition with vista on it :P
wonder if this could be installed on PS3? course it would be useless until the rsx graphics chip is usable, but heres hoping :p
CEDEGA uses Wine which emulates windows X86 calls in a linux environment. Wrong os, wrong processor. nyat!
Yeah, good luck getting it installed first of all. Anyway, to "NOPE" above, it uses its own version of WINE as does Crossover office:). But yeah, wont run no PS3!
oblivion is gonna be great on xgl suse, does any 1 no what versions of linux it runs on, guess there is no need to delete my vista parition. got loads of hard drives,
