JAMD: Your Neighbor's Distribution |
|
| The TuxReports team has written a comprehensive review of JAMD Linux 0.0.6: "There is no sweeter RPM-based distribution for the desktop than JAMD. It is easy to install, comes ready for use, and has plenty of good support directly from the developer. The addition of Synaptic makes installing new software easier and we hope other RPM-based distributions start placing ease of use rather than neat/cool features ahead of the development table." The 6-page review with several screenshots starts here.

Review: JAMD Linux 0.0.6 |
|
| This is likely to be the first ever review of JAMD Linux, a KDE-centric Red Hat-based distribution for home users: "JAMD takes the best of Red Hat Linux 9 and makes it better for desktop use. While it lacks a couple of what I believe are essential programs, it's still a rich, Windows-busting, standards-compliant, high-performing, easy-to-use, compatible, reliable, excellent, nearly complete Linux distribution. If I gave scores to Linux, I would give JAMD four-and-a-half or five out of five stars, and I'm usually very hard on Linux distributions." The complete review by Benjamin Vander Jagt, complete with a few screenshots, is available here.

Distribution Release: JAMD Linux 0.0.6 |
|
| JAMD Linux 0.0.6 is out. Changes since 0.0.5: "Based on Red Hat Linux 9. Removed the KDE supplied by Red Hat and put in the implementation by Rex Dieter and the KDE-RedHat project located at http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net. This resolves several issues in the stock Red Hat KDE. It is also version 3.1.1a which is newer (yeah yeah, I know...3.1.2 just came out. Give me a break, OK?)..." The long list of changes continues here. If you'd like to download it, please visit this page; you are required to click on the "I Accept" button before you can proceed to the list of mirrors (version 0.0.6 comes on a single ISO image, 688MB in size).

Distribution Release: JAMD Linux 0.0.5 |
|
| JAMD Linux 0.0.5 has been released. Changes: "Applied all released Red Hat updates up to 2/16/2003 except the kernel. I decided not to upgrade the kernel because nVidia doesn't have pre-built drivers released for the latest kernel. And since I am not allowed to redistribute their drivers, and compiling them is beyond the scope of JAMD's intended audience, the kernel update was held back. The kernel updates are relatively minor for the JAMD's target audience. " The long list of changes continues here; it includes software updates to CUPS, Evolution, GnuCash, OpenLDAP, WINE as well as the inclusion of MPlayer and Frozen Bubble. Download from this page.

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!
