If there are two individuals in the Linux game scene today that they brought a lot and very good Free games to all Linux users, these should be Michael Speck of LGames and Bill Kendrick of NewBreedSoftware. Their games have been played not only by Linux users, but by users on all major platforms via the portability of the SDL game library. Today, we interview Michael Speck, regarding his games, his opinions about the Linux game market, about Linux's performance as a multimedia platform, his future plans and much more.

urpmi for Mandrake is much better than apt-get. e.g... I installed debian on my sparcstation the other day. I needed the development headers for PAM to compile and install OpenSSH (yes I know there's a .deb, but that's one of the packages I like to maintain myself).
Anyway, I tried "apt-get install pam", "apt-get install pam-dev", "apt-get install pam-devel". Nothing worked. I finally searched google for "pam" and "debian", and found what I was looking for - libpam-dev.
urpmi for Mandrake does pattern recognition on whatever you tell it to install, so if I say "urpmi pam", urpmi will say "Here are the packages containing the string 'pam':"... then I figure out which one I want to install and do it.. i.e. "urpmi libpam-dev".
Also, rpmdrake is a really nice graphical tool to look through available and installed packages. Much better than dselect.
