- Gaming on Ubuntu Linux
Canonical, Ububtu's sponsor organisation, announced recently that a special gaming software repository is being setup. It is named Playbuntu and aims to have the latest Linux games and the latest updates. It is only in it's infancy at the moment, but represents an even easier way to install games and keep them up to date.
- Review: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (ET:QW)
When it comes to games you can buy 'off the shelf' at your local game store, the list of ones that can be installed natively (without wine) on Linux is very short. The list gets extremely short if you only want to include newer games. Thankfully, companies like id Software openly support Linux and provide not only installers for Linux, but have also open sourced some of their earlier engines (Quake 1, 2 and 3). They continue this support with their latest game; Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (ET:QW).
- Gallium3D: a short explanation where it fits in
Currently Gallium3D is not production ready yet. Early 2008 the state was that the first real world driver, an older Intel one, was working quite well. It might take a while until Gallium3D really enters the stage.
