Ubuntu 9.10 64-Bit running Eve Online and Compiz

First ever video so be a bit gentle.
Trying to show how Wine and Ubuntu have come such a long way to covering anything that windows can do, and then improving upon it!

Is that the Tengu that you suicided?

@Perseus024706 these ships have got so advanced they suicide themselves now.

Is that a blaster Tengu?

I'm pretty pleased to see EVE running on Linux, as I'm trying to set that up now.. But was that a blaster Tengu?

....The fuck?

[andyjfaulkner]

@Xaine009 haha

Yes it was. Don't argue with medium blaster spec V :P

wasn't exactly fit for any purpose to be quite honest.

Great vid. have you had any luck getting Eve to work one Ubuntu 10.04?

I tried and can only get a black screen after the Eve splash screen.

Oh well, back to WinXP. I want to like Linux but it's difficult!

hi... nice work.. can i know what ur laptop spec is... iam planing to run eve on ubuntu

[twojaythomo]

one question is how, I downloaded ubuntu 10.04 then downloaded wine and when I start eve it take forever to start and when it does I cant get passed the part were you scroll down and accept the terms and conditions theres not text and the little slider bar doesnt move. Im a noob to ubuntu and I dont think ill get any games to work on it

[H8FilledVoid]

OH MY JESUS! It is a blaster tangu!!!

[tasmandevil0811]
