Hola, ADIOS Boot CD |
|
| NewsForge has published an overview of the recently released ADIOS Linux Boot CD 2.00: "If you dismiss the ADIOS Linux Boot CD as just another bootable Linux live CD, you might be missing out on an interesting project with several unique characteristics. Which other distribution provides users with a pre-configured User Mode Linux so that you can run several new instances of Linux within the existing system? Which one comes with a kernel patched with all the latest security safeguards? Can you name another live CD that gives a choice to boot into Security-enhanced Linux, a Linux kernel developed by the National Security Agency (NSA)? Or boot with the Linux Intrusion Detection System turned on?" Read on....

At one point or another gamers can hit the wall when using other OS systems such as Linux and Mac, as Windows has always been renowned as the OS of choice for the gaming community. In a lot of cases this has changed somewhat over the last few years with the use of virtualization software that helps to bridge that gap, and it can be quite successful to a point. Of course, when you virtualize another OS you can lose some of the performance, than say running a game natively, and with slowdowns and bugs comes frustration. We have listed a few resources that we think are worth a mention for different types of gamers, both online multiplayer and single player, see what you think:
- World of Goo. This is a great puzzle game that will keep you busy for hours, there's also a free playable demo version.
- If you're a online poker enthusiast we can recommend you check out the pokerlistings.com Linux poker page, it has a list of poker apps that are compatible with your OS.
- For the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) crowds you could always take a look at Vendetta online, "thousands of people can play together, at the same time, in a single, persistent universe", sounds great!
