Development Release: Trinity Rescue Kit 3.3 Beta, Build 304 |
|
| Tom Kerremans has announced a new development build of Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) 3.3, a small Mandriva-based live CD aimed at system rescue, repair, password resets and cloning. What's new? "Major nifty feature addition in this release: boot other TRKs over the network from a running TRK - you can now boot a TRK from CD or USB stick and then boot other machines over PXE without any change to your network environment. Next, there are a few bug fixes. The biggest bug fix is the fact that on many computers 'mountallfs' just hung. Apparently it was the kernel built-in NTFS driver that froze. Another fix is for USB bootable TRKs. On certain volumes it refused to read the volume label because it stated the volume was dirty. I added a parameter to ignore the dirty state so TRK can continue. The third minor bug fix is in VirusScan." Read the full release announcement for more details. Download (MD5): trinity-rescue-kit.3.3-build-304.iso (111MB). |

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!
