Development Release: PHLAK "LittleBoy" Beta 1 |
| The developers of the PHLAK project are working on a new USB pen drive edition of their Linux distribution. The first beta of PHLAK "LittleBoy" was released for testing today: "I developed this version with USB pen drives in mind. You can boot 'LittleBoy' completely from USB pen drives, as long as the computer supports USB booting. It is small (currently 195MB), lightweight (Fluxbox GUI only), fast (thanks to USB 2.0), but still packs a punch (almost all security tools still included)! The goal here is to refine our tool collection and other package selections to make LittleBoy the perfect size for a 256MB USB pen drive. Later on maybe we can refine it even further for a tiny security distro, ~50MB." Find more information and changelog in the release announcement. Download from here: phlak-littleboy-beta1.iso (195MB, MD5). |

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!
