In wandering around, it was nice to see a linux distro aimed at showing that the operating system isn’t toothless in the gamer area. And rather then having a bunch of opensource games that a lot of people won’t recognize. They included a number of top games that would be recognizable to most Windows gamers like America’s Army, Quake III and Unreal Tournament 2004 besides a number of games of all types.

The disc includes:

3D games:

  • America’s Army
  • Cube
  • Doom 3
  • Enemy Territory,
  • Legends
  • Nexuiz,
  • Privateer,
  • Quake 4,
  • Soldier of Fortune,
  • UFO: Alien Invasion,
  • UT2004,
  • Wesnoth
  • Postal 2

Arcade:

  • BzFlag
  • Chromium
  • 3D Pinball
  • Frozen Bubble
  • Neverball
  • Neverput
  • Penguin Racer
  • Supertux
  • Tuxkart

Cards: Pysol

Strategy: Foobillards

I am surprised that MAME wasn’t included, especially under arcade. But maybe another release.

Kernel: 2.6.13amd64op-smp squash 3 with source and stripped source installed

Office: Open Office 2

You’ll find better hardware support in this second version. Nvidia support for 3d only with the 8174 drivers installed (greater than the Geforce4 series). USB keyboard and mouse are supported better, and it has been tweaked to use dma on the dvd rom for additional speed running live.[SuperGamer-2 Information]
