News: Games Knoppix released

[Coolcan2]

I'm sure you guys now about the linux boot cd distroKnoppix (http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html), well a hacked version of it Games-knoppix (http://games-knoppix.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/) has been released.

The main features are the Nvidia/ATI graphic acceleration drivers, which make playing all the wonderfull bundled linux games nice and smooth. I personally find this very usefull since I am too lazy to re-compile the kernal for the drivers myself.


Grab the iso file, through bittorrent (http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/)



The Following games are included.
# Ace-of-penguin

i particularly like this project because as stated on the home page, each version release of games-knoppix will include a COMPLETELY different set of games. so there's no reason to let the old games-knoppix cds get dusty :D

I'm in the process of getting this, it's quite amusing. What a cool project. Not only do I love Knoppix because it lets me use Linux with just about every program I have on my Windows system (my software is 90 percent open source), It lets me step up from my usual switching of my roommate's desktop to something disgusting. Now I switch his OS.
