Eee pc for gaming

by Kostiantyn Teterin · in Torque Game Builder · 01/31/2008 (10:03 pm) · 3 replies

Looks like the Eee PC could be an interesting market for games. However, its running linux. Is there any chance that GG will start to support the linux version of TGB again?

Not sure, but for now I would think not officially. There is a Windows version of the Eee coming out, though.

Really? I never heard of it. I am wondering if it will be such popular. At least they want to distribute their linux version worldwide, and no even rumors about the windows version...

Yeah, sad to hear about the lack of Linux support. I had not noticed immediately upon return to the community for TGB 1.6 that Linux was no longer supported. Really has me thinking on going with BlitzMax after all.

As for Eee PC, I think we have to wait a while and see if there is a real market for it. I know they said they plan to sell 3-6 Million this year. If they do then that would indicate that there is a market for it and would be a big boost to Linux Desktop penetration, especially if Dell's Ubuntu based desktop systems take off.
