Development Release: Ares Desktop Alpha 2 |
| This is the first ever public release of Ares Desktop, a Linux distribution launched in January 2004 by merging JAMD Linux and Blue Linux: "I went ahead and opened alpha 2 to the public. It is not bug free and may not work on your machine. But that's because it is alpha. DO NOT USE ON A PRODUCTION MACHINE. I released this because we need to have something released and it may be a while before I can get to the beta 1 installation issues. So check this out for the time being. I am going to be opening all alpha releases now for the public." Check out the distribution's home page to read the full announcement. Download: aresdesktop.iso (698MB).

Product Announcement: Ares Desktop |
|
| Blue Linux and JAMD Linux have merged to create a new desktop Linux distribution called Ares Desktop: "In late 2003, the lead developers of two GNU/Linux Desktop distributions started talks on common design goals and the problems faced by smaller desktop vendors. Limited resources, limited developers, limited users and a high level of demand were just a few of the problems. Their solution was to merge their resources and create a new distribution aimed at their common target market. From these efforts Ares Desktop was born." The full press release. The first release of Ares Desktop is planned before the end of February; find out more at ares-linux.com.

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!
