Linux Gets Small: LNX-BBC and Damn Small Linux |
| Linux.com takes a look at two minimalist Linux distributions - LNX-BBC and Damn Small Linux: "These two BBCs are clearly meant for two different purposes. LNX-BBC is the power tool for experienced sysadmins involved in hardcore rescue operations, while Damn Small is a reasonably friendly miniature general purpose system. If I had a system that required serious network diagnosis or intrusion analysis, I would choose LNX-BBC because of its superb toolkit. If I had a system that needed simple edits to files or just an alternate operating environment, I'd probably go with Damn Smalll." The complete story.

Booting Your Business Card: Linux-BBC 2.1 |
|
| Linux Journal looks at the latest release of LNX-BBC, the Linux Bootable Business Card 2.1: "The idea of being able to walk up to J. Random PC and have this much Linux goodness in something wallet-sized is worth it. I might actually have to find some business card CD-Rs specifically for this purpose. I don't think they would hold up too well in a wallet, but it sure would get clients' attention to hand them something with your name on it that was useful for more than scratch paper once the print on the front is transcribed. And these CDs would go well in the business card slot in a laptop or palmtop case. In addition, nothing prevents you from using a more standard form factor for the physical media; the 3.5" (180MB) minidisc size often works where something squared off does not. Whatever you put it on, it's a whole lot of bang for 48MB worth of bandwidth bucks." The full review.

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!
