More Linux -- 11:10 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I'd like to give J.t.Qbe a kick in the upper lip with a steel-tipped toe-tap for getting me involved with Linux. Getting it running smoothly has consumed all my free time this past week. Not that I dislike it or anything--it's actually rather fun. Currently, I'm struggling with Linux' font support (or lack thereof). I've got it to the point now that I can tolerate it. Gotta give Bill and the boys credit, Windows' True Type fonts are very slick.

There is method to my madness. I'm going to start working on getting a Linux UT server running so when The Haus, Mk III, is complete, I can just copy everything over, fire it up, and we'll be ready to roll.

And yes, I am posting this message from Linux :)

Update: I got True Type fonts working under Linux now. The problem is that they are so small they are almost illegible. So basically I have two choices: 1) have things readable but ugly, or 2) have things almost unreadable but good-looking. Actually, I have a third choice I'm going to pursue--keeping the True Type fonts and lowering my desktop resolution to 800x600. I'm going to read around a bit more to see if there are any other solutions.
