I've always been a bit of a Linux junkie. Sadly, being a gamer, I'm stuck with the Microsoft OS's if
I
want to play most games. (Yes, I know there
are options, but if I'm going to run Windows games, it's easier to run them natively.) I still keep Linux on a couple
of machines here.
Knoppix is a Linux distribution on CD, that actually boots from said CD, so you don't have to worry about installing
it on your system. If you've ever wanted to give Linux a go, and are a gamer, which if you're reading this site, you no
doubt are, then a special games version, complete with ATI and Nvidia support, has been released. Oh yeah, it's
perfectly legal, and like the best things in life, totally free.
Bit Torrent download of the CD image
here. (I
recommend Azureus as a client.) I found this last night. Sadly, I should
have posted it then, as I wake up today to find it's been linked on another big site, meaning, right now, the site is
very slow at responding, hence the BT link.
