However, change the operating system, and this level of support seems to evaporate. You're lucky to even get a LiveCD to boot if you have an ATI card in your system, and even if you manage to install a version of *nix, good luck getting 3D applications to run bug-free. Thankfully, AMD decided to listen to their customers. The latest AMD Catalyst for Linux is much cleaner, much more efficient, and much faster than the older version of Catalyst. Classic *nix functions, such as switching between X server and CLI are much smoother/don't freeze the system, and late 3D applications (even simple ones such as Google Earth) actually work now, which couldn't be said for older versions of AMD Catalyst for Linux. Granted, the Linux version is not as fully featured as the Windows version. However, it is just as functional, and just as stable, as the Windows version, which is a huge step in the right direction for *nix users. <a href="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux01_thm.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux02.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux02_thm.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux03.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux03_thm.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux04.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux04_thm.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux05.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-07-01/catalystlinux05_thm.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>source-<a href="http://www.theinq.com/default.aspx?article=40698" target="_blank">The Inquirer</a></blockquote>
