Development Release: Debris Linux 1.8.2 (Beta) |
| Stefan Emmerich has announced the availability of a new beta release of Debris Linux, version 1.8.2. Debris Linux is a minimalist (under 200 MB), Ubuntu-based desktop distribution with GNOME. What's new? "Fixed bug in 1.8.0 which defaulted to Dutch instead of US keyboard layout during boot; updated kernel 2.6.28; new kernel module powernow-nx; updated Firefox; live USB with options 'toram' and 'myconfig=usb' works now; Nautilus script TextEdit - Yes/No buttons instead of Cancel/OK; GRUB background now available for the 'isolinux' CD; the infamous 'i810' and 'trident' bug in X.Org fixed; CPU frequency scaling should work now with Intel (Centrino, SpeedStep) too; added firmware for Broadcom 43xx wireless chips; hid-dummy kernel module, which caused fatal error message during boot. Please check up on those fixes." Read the short release announcement on the project's user forums. Download (MD5): debris-1.8.2.iso (186MB). |

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!
