Best Linux OS to run RO
 

OK I have been running on Jaunty 9.04. 2.6.26.15-server. (as it uses all 4gb of mem and the 512mb nvidia card)

Nothing but video card troubles - since the 1.0.8 update so tried some new drivers - big mistake. Managed to get back to RO launcher working again but video card problems are preventing the game loading - same old resource loading hanging.

Looking at the forum some suggest "use a different linux OS". Tried lots of the suggestions on the forum - nada.

So my question is which one works best?

I don't want to move back to Vista, but in order to play now I am going to have to.

edit: I have reinstalled with the most recent RO installer, stripped out all nvidia drivers, tried newer and older driver etc.

I am using ArchLinux, and so are many other Regnum players.
It usually works really good.

ubuntu 8.10

I am using ArchLinux as well. And im pretty happy with it. Its not as easy too install as ubuntu but with the Arch Linux beginners guide its pretty simple, only a bit more time consuming especially at the first time u install it.

Ok thanks, I'll try this one.

Can you dual boot with it or do I have to loose Vista?

Do my best to note down my experiences for the forum if I have problems.

I'm using both Debian and Ubuntu, I generally have no trouble with RO.

Arch Linux is way to complicated to set up.

It wants to wipe my HD - it doesn't seem to see that I already have a d: partition set up.

And the partiton program gives a fatal error on inititation.

Looks like i'll be trying another one.

Kubuntu here, since day 1.
Currently, 9.04, 9.10 soon(tm)

I'm using Debian and the game runs fine :D

Ubuntu 9.04 and it runs fine. Shortly after the update I had some trouble but now it works fine.
