Games Knoppix

Quiberon writes "A distribution of Knoppix loaded with games has a bootable CD with 700 MB of open-source games, 3d support for NVIDIA, ATI, and Intel Extreme, gamepad support for XWindows. uni-kl is University of Kaiserlautern, the first on the list for distributing SuSE fixes - they are good. Every kid should have one for Christmas morning."

One of the headlines you won't see in 2005

Linux best suited platform for PC games!

Great...

[jawtheshark]

Now that's one fine Chistmas present we are giving to the admin of that server... A slashdotting of the finest.

What a beautiful present...

Speaking of cheap mother fucking dads,

Well, is there anyone else you suggest that a dad f**k's?

Great, 48 versions of Tetris

[TheHornedOne]

Yeah, you heard me. This is a noble idea but who wants to play Ktris, Gtris, ChrisTris, etc?

Re:Pity the performance sucks

[PatrickThomson]

Yeah, but it'll take 6 hours to start the game

My Linux version of Quake III Arena...

[stankulp]

...should finally live again when I install Knoppix to the hard drive.

I only got the NVidia drivers installed right one time, and I could never do it right again.

It's actually pretty cool to have the acclerated video drivers install this easily.

Teach me more, oh wise one!

[gentoo_user]

Gentoo makes this easy as, "emerge nvidia-kernel" and all you have to do is spend a full weekend configuring and compiling your linux system first.

What's not to like?

Re:Great, 48 versions of Tetris

[AndroidCat]

You've obviously never played DoomTetris, the FPS version. It's damned hard to catch those blocks while holding the flashlight, and that creepy music...

It's called automation, dude. I think the stories are just queued up, and posted at about 1 hour intervals during the day, and less frequently in the night. The times are adjusted a little, randomly, to apply a veneer of human touch.

Name rung a bell

So I googled Kaiserslautern, and sure enough, it's the sister city of my crappy home town. [cityofdavenportiowa.com]

Apparently I live in the ugly, less popular, dumber sister city.

(I'm sure everyone found that tidbit of knowledge absolutely wonderful)

Re:A Games CD for Linux on BitTorrent ... mmm..

[rtaylor]

If I meet the idiot responsible for this lameness filter I'm going to kick his ass.

You don't get it, the lameness filter only allows lame posts to get through. Your post was perfectly reasonable until the lameness filter forced you to make the post lame. See how it works now?

700MB of games!

That would be even a greater time-waster than my obsession with downloading pictures and videos of the Corrs and Angelina Jolie...

Re:How about which games are on the CD?

[Rico_Suave]

OK, now who is going to make a companion list of what games all these are clones of?

Re:Yay! Ati is supported

[Goldberg's Pants]

So his redundant comment gets modded up to +5, and I get modded down to -1. That's hilarious:) I managed to get a first post modded all the way up. HAHA!
