Do you guys know any free O.S. that will run games. I just got the new system and waiting to get my copy of windows vista...but I am impatiant.

tigger · 02-20-2007, 12:10 AM

"find" a copy of xp,"nudge nudge".

Scavar · 02-20-2007, 12:10 AM

You try Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora Core 6, and a million and ten other linuxes. It isn't always the easiest thing to get games working, but it works sometimes. Or you can install a Windows XP and use it for the 30days without activating it till you get your Vista......Or just wait

rock_n_roll_0204 · 02-20-2007, 12:11 AM

how do i get xp for 30 days

I beleive its a game thats running off a linux that you don't need to install. Basically everything just kind of runs of the CD and it lets you play Wolfenstien
