Many users have reported that once they have upgraded their system with glibc 2.7 in a 64-bit distro that ETQW would play for 5 – 10min then hard freeze the system with little warning and no visible errors. This appears to be how the distro handles the 64-bit versions and despite having compatibility for 32-bit including the supporting drivers and libs users still report this issue using a 64-bit distro with glibc 2.7.

My rating of this game

5 ouf of 5 star

This is one of my all time favorite games! Yes this game is a few years old now and new ETQW does blow ET  out of the water graphic wise however that does not mean good old regular ET cant compete. ET is only playable online with other live plays. Classic Enemy Territory takes place here on earth in the 1940s on the European battle field mostly on the German front - some mods are based on the Russian front. You get to choose what side you would like to play either the Allies or the Axis. Both sides have different but yet similar weapons and whimsical voice chats and vsays as well.

Ever notice how there are a ton of different Ubuntu variations out there? I lost count after the eighth or so version of the operating system. Let me name just a few that appear in the top 100 distros on distrowatch.com: Ubuntu (comes with the gnome desktop), Kubuntu (comes with the KDE desktop), Xubuntu (the Xfce desktop), Edubuntu (prepacked with educational software), Fluxbuntu (lightweight and extremely efficient Ubuntu), and Ubuntu Studio (Ubuntu for the video professional and graphic artist). My brain hurts just trying to keep track. We all love a great underdog story, and we Linux fans all dream of the day that Ubuntu (or some other fan favorite) finally starts to really pound away at the monolithic corporate giant we've all come to know, to finally deliver the sudden, all powerful uppercut to the software juggernaut, crowning Linux the new heavyweight champ.

Here's a brief discussion why all these variations on the same distribution is going to make it take a little while longer.

Due to the rampant pirating of Windows within the Russian education system, Russia decided it was time to move towards the open source operating system, Linux, in order to prevent further pirating. Armada Group of Companies (RTS, MICEX: ARMD) claims to have completed the first stage of the project to provide the Russian educational institutions with the Linux operating system. It should save the Russians millions. But what about TCO (the Total Cost of Ownership) for Linux? Aren't all the Microsoft reports true that Linux's TCO is much higher than that of Windows? If that's the case, it doesn't seem to be affecting countries all over the world and their switch to Linux for schools.
