Living The PC-BSD Lifestyle

“First things first, can I play my favorite games? The answer
(for me) is absolutely! I am a huge fan of Valve and their Steam
client because I tend to scratch or lose CD’s. I created my
Steam account in 2004 when I purchased Half-Life 2, although I
never finished the game because my computer could not handle it. 45
minute loading screens do not work for me…

“So, I forgot about Valve for awhile and moved on to other
hobbies, namely music and web design. When I was away from my
drumset, I was on my PC hacking away at local band websites, doing
photomanipulation in Photoshop, or creating Classic Nintendo
remixes in Sony Music Studio (formerly Acid Pro). I was also
dual-booting random Linux distros (with much displeasure), because
I got tired of the constant degredation of performance on my
Windows box. I found that I couldn’t enjoy most of my
computer related hobbies on Linux, and worse yet, most of the
websites I was developing or visiting didn’t work or look the
same. So I forgot about Linux for awhile, too.”
