Development Release: WHAX 3.0 Beta 1 |
|
| WHAX is a new name of what used to be called Whoppix, a security and penetration testing live CD. While Whoppix was based on Knoppix, the new WHAX is now based on SLAX: "WHAX is so longer based on Knoppix, but on SLAX, a Slackware live CD. One of the main reasons I decided to try this is due to the wonderful world of modularity which SLAX uses. For us, this modularity means that we can easily customize our version of WHAX, and include whichever modules we like. All the tools have been compiled to 'WHAX Modules' which can be easily added or removed, depending on our needs." The first development release of the new WHAX live CD 3.0 is now available for download and testing from here: whax-3.0-beta1.iso (506MB, MD5). More information can be found on the project's new web site at IWHAX.NET. |

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!
