i know makes you kinda wonder. although linux gaming is somewhat confined to the geek @ heart. there is still a market for it and i would like to have a local retailer who could provide me with my needs. at one point fry's had all the linux games, and some less mainstream distro's, which made me believe there was progress being made in the retail market. but that has all but diminished. even there mac section seems smaller, oh well as long as i have internet access i have access to the linux community like this wonderful group. and oh BTW i would love a copy of SOF, just give me some details on how to obtain the copy from you. peace out and happy fraggin linux style. slr On Saturday 14 July 2001 01:45, you wrote: > I can burn you a copy of SOF full here for linux. > its not that big a deal.
