100 open source gems - part 1
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.org and Firefox - all great software, and all powerful
| proponents of the free software software movement. But there are thousands of
| other applications out there that are worth trying, so in every issue of
| Linux Format magazine we highlight some of the best new open source programs
| that have been released or updated recently.

Software programmers get physical

| Open-source software ideas are also now moving into hardware, said Rodgers,
| who cited the Arduino, an open-source electronics prototyping platform, as an
| example of hardware that appeals to software-oriented tinkerers. Projects
| like Arduino will make it easier, he said, for programmers to break down the
| wall between software and circuit boards.

12 Open Source Games that Don't Suck
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source rocks. A year or two ago I had no idea what was available out
| there for free...well, except for the torrent sites, not that I ever visited
| any of those. ;) From entire operating systems to just about any sort of
| application under the sun, you can find open source and/or free software. Not
| to mention other free fun stuff (like pr0n :p). Just finding
| www.openoffice.org was amazing for me, and 7-zip, and of course Firefox, and
| Thunderbird.. the list goes on, and I'm not including all the fun stuff I
| have found since I started using Linux.

OSS Gaming: Ready for the Big Leagues?
,----[ Quote ]
| Tux is no mere drone -- he likes having fun every now and then. When it comes
| to gaming, open source tools and applications have a lot to offer developers,
| but that's not where it stops. Open source games themselves can be had for
| little or no cost, and a lot of them offer just as much baddy-blasting
| entertainment as proprietary titles.

Linux to game developers: No More Excuses
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell just showed us that the old "lack of market demand" excuse for
| Linux is falling flat. 200,000 users flooded Dell with requests
| for Linux pre-installed on their machines. That's just one
| manufacturer! Never mind the hundreds of thousands of Linux users,
| such as I, who gave up on Dell years ago.
|
| Previous to the Dell fiasco, I might have had my doubts about the
| commercial interests of Linux. But the last straw man has been
| beaten; from here on out, if you run a technology company and
| refuse to support Linux, it's because history's biggest and most
| oppressive monopoly is paying you not to.

Linux Gaming Made Easy
,----[ Quote ]
| Going Native. With the possible exceptions of Battlefield 2 and
| perhaps World of Warcraft, I simply can't see the advantage in
| supporting games that choose not to support us. To me, the short
| answer to this is to support those gaming companies that have worked
| very hard to make sure that Linux admirers are not being left out in
| the dark.
