RE: [PLUG] Red Hat at Ursinus on Saturday 7PM & Counterstrike
|
I can answer this.
No. Can't play under linux. Ursinus doesn't even have that many linux
machines to put everone on one anyway. It will be the Windows version.
Why? Because it is fun and the people love it. We (Ursinus ACM) sponsor
games night like this several times a year (well, this one is much
different). The main reason for playing the game is #1 - get people in a
geeky mood #2 - wind down at the end #3 - get people on campus early because
the school is having everclear (the band, not the alcohol) on campus that
same night (we get our people here early and take all the parking spots).
Like everyone else, we have to work with what we are given, and, the school
has built labs of windows machines, so, that is what we use.
Unfortunate, yes, but, we are trying to change this.

I don't think I can come to this event at Ursinus, but: Counterstrike?!
My kids and I had an absolutely great time playing this game on windows
machines at an internet cafe in Paris a year ago. I'd love to be able
to play it with them on my linux systems. Do you play it within Wine,
or is there some way to play it under linux?
I see linux server software www.counter-strike.net, but that doesn't
sound like what's needed on the user's end.
Thanks in advance...
