Yeah, I have to say that to release a solo gaming linux distro is like saying: "Gaming is something that, as a whole, we such suck at. Ya know what? Let's release a distro with ONLY games. That way we can show how not awesome Linux is." Brilliant.

Clearly you have never tried those games, they are excellent, and are regularly updated. I notice cube2 has been updated since the release, and OpenArena has a 0.8 release in beta with the elusive.

In fact the quality of the selection shows form what has been removed from this relase and not those that have been added ufo:ai a fantastic 3D turn based stratergy, and neverball a fantastic game of skill.

Does GNU have the breadth and quality of Windows commercial gaming not yet, but clearly it has many games of good quality without the pain of CD Hacks, or cracks or patch problems windows users have, and can expect an updated release every few months. In reality console gaming has the best of both worlds, has a better platform...the TV and is more sociable.

I actually think the emphasis on this distro was not so much to emphasise that gaming is available to Linux...but a live-cd for playing with a group of friends so everyone within the "group" has a legal and working game either at work.

BTW most of those games are available on windows too I would get a copy of them they are all excellent.

Ah, you mean like how it was back when games were good and about giving a fun experience rather than about showing off your awesome tech demos masquerading as games?

You sir, are a blatant troll.

what a wanker

While often true... you can run some modernish stuff like Quake 4 etc. I just don't see a gi-normous amount of high quality, modern (graphics) open source games. You can usually get any 2 of the above, but not usually all 3.
