Linux For Gamers

I recently moved over fully to linux. Completly deleting any sign of windows on my pc. I’ll write more about linux related stuff at another date.

Although I haven’t used my pc to play games much since getting my ps3. When I saw Supreme SupeGamer I was impressed, interested and excited. A linux distro dedicated to gaming? Wow this is worth checking out I thought..  Looking through the list of included games I recognised alot of them.  Im not saying by any means this is the 1st time any pc games have been played on a linuc machine, what I am saying is that this is *to my knowledge* the 1st linux distro that comes with some many games of such high caliber

World’s First Dual Layer LiveDVD

This Supreme SuperGamer version will work on both 32 and 64 bit PCs and fills a full Live Dual Layer DVD. It includes support for ethernet, wireless, and dialup Internet connections. It can run in “Live” mode directly from the DVD and can be optionally installed to your hard drive. A few key includes are 2.6.27.24 kernel, Azureus, Gparted, Limewire, Gimp, K9copy, KOffice, OpenOffice 3, Hardinfo (system profiler and benchmark) along with all the plugins for firefox with forcastbar enhanced, adblock, and blockxxx included (blockxxx is a child word and website filter which is not enabled by default as it blocks alot of stuff…almost to much).

The games (in the order they appear on the launch bar) Include:

Quake Wars
Doom 3
Prey
Unreal Tournament
Quake 4
Savage 2
Postal 2
Enemy Territory
Penumbra Black Plague
Sauerbraten
Urban Terror

Im impressed enough to start downloading the 7gb torrent file. I’ll lets yous all know whether it was worth the extimated 5 hours or not after I give it a good bashing.  Hell if its good enough yous might find a download mirror poping up for it on the site!
