There is an excellent and extremely thorough article on the state of Linux gaming over on linuxhardware.org. It covers much of the history of gaming in Linux, what's available now, and what we can expect in the future. A very worthy read.

And you thought Knoppix was neat

I got this info from looking around at Distrowatch and it looks cool... its name is Morphix and it has boot cd's that are very Knoppix-like in that they have every application known to man fit on the cd and then they have a lite version that runs on older hardware and "flies on newer hardware"... but more importantly they have a games specific version. Apparently they have just released new versions of these isos.

Novell has finally seen the light and is probably going to move to Linux soon. Well... more likely they probably have no choice.. but this will be interesting. Personally I would be in favor more of Novell if they did that; believe me.. I have spent some time on some Netware boxes that probably made me lose some hair.
