| Following the appearance of the first release candidate of KDE 3.5 on Friday, the developers of Klax have put together a new demo CD with the latest development version of the popular desktop: "Klax is an i486 GNU/Linux live CD, very similar to SLAX, because it's created with the same linux-live scripts. The version described here contains KDE 3.5 RC 1. It should be good enough to give you an impression of KDE 3.5 development, to verify if bugs still exist or discover new ones, and to make screenshots. What it has: an ISO size of 342 MB; all KDE 3.5 RC 1 modules except kdebindings; Qt 3.3.4 with qt-copy patches, K3b 0.12.7 and KOffice 1.4.2."

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!
