I should probably dual boot Linux then.. can anyone give me tips on that b/c linux said if you aren't experienced it could turn out wrong. I am probably going to get Windows 7 soon but I will later.

You can also run linux programs natively on Mac OS X, as long as you have x11-darwin installed. :P

You can take the application source code of something that runs on Linux and it will often run on Mac OS X after being compiled (as long as you have the correct libraries installed), but you can't take an already compiled Linux binary and run it on OS X. It's a different type of executable format.

It's not hard at all, the Ubuntu Installer will do everything for you with a GUI provided.

Provided you can use Google to solve your problems, it's not much of a deal to learn the command line side of things.

I know. I'm a linux user. I've installed linux applications on OSX before. :P
No need to explain it to me.

Don't see why so much emphasis is being put to two operating systems the vast majority of the playercount don't use when it's holding back the client most of us want to see updated but ok I guess. Just hope that the update itself doesn't suck and that afterwards some focus is placed on playerworlds and their development.

Probably because it's easier to convert the Linux/Mac client to Windows then vice versa. Purely speculations might I add.

When I disable Aero, the only options I have is windows 95 classic, and that just looks horrible, how do i make it so I don't have aero? yet I have a good looking one.

Right click the Graal exe, properties, compatibility, and check disable desktop composition.

Sorry to double post, give me an infraction or whatever, I don't really care.

Why does my game performance change when I minimize, maximize, and go full screen?

Minimizing= its not maximized but I am still playing, restore down as you might refer to it

When I minimize I will be fine for a little while then I start lagging, so I maximize. This will allow me to not lag for a bout 3-5 mins then I start to lag. So I go to 600x600 resolution or what ever is close to that. I don't lag for about ten mins but then I start to lag again. So I go back and I minimize and it stops lagging for a little bit, then it starts back up again. Any reasoning for this?

Possible memory leak? Just a rough guess. In that case, whatever leaked would be flushed out when changing the resolution.
