2867 2 2002-08-31 10:01:15 <a href="http://freshmeat.net/~shabadoo/">Matt Matthews</a> has posted a <a href="http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/543/">Linux games Category Review</a> at <a href="http://freshmeat.net">Freshmeat.net</a>. He begins: <blockquote><i> The world is filled with Free Software to do all kinds of jobs. From top-to-bottom, a typical GNU/Linux system provides a kernel, basic administration tools, servers, clients, a graphical substrate, and (finally) high-level graphical environments sitting atop it all. Graphics, sound, input, output, networking... you can find Free Software for all of these. Despite this power given to hackers, Free Software games are often considered to be of lesser quality, compared to those available in the non-Free software world. In this review, I'll look at the variety of Free Software games available today and whether Free gaming software deserves its reputation. </i></blockquote> Linux games article at Freshmeat.net default
