Smokin' Guns - Cowboy First-person shooter Game for Linux.

,----[ Quote ]
| Initially developed as Western Quake 3, 
| Smokin' Guns  is the game for you if you 
| ever feel nostalgic of the Old West. 
| Smokin' Guns, an open source, cross 
| platform first-person shooter is intended 
| to be a semi-realistic simulation of the 
| "Old West's" great atmosphere and was 
| developed on Id Software's Quake III Arena 
| Engine. It boasts of the following features
| 
|     * A full arsenal of weapons with 
|     historically correct design.
|     * A variety of western styled maps and 
|     player models.
|     * A realistic damage system with 
|     different locations (head, chest, neck, 
|     etc) and height-dependent falling 
|     damage.
|     * New western styled game types for 
|     more fun: Bank Robbery and Duel Modes.
|     * A money system allowing for equipment 
|     purchase with money from rewards.
|     * Easy to use graphical user interface 
|     and HUD.
|     * Other small improvements for better 
|     gameplay and enhanced fun.

| Although the state of Linux gaming has 
| improved a great deal in the last few 
| years, Linux is still emerging as a gaming 
| platform.

Project VGA Hopes To Ship Next Month

,----[ Quote ]
| Michael Meeuwisse of Project VGA, which spawned from the Open Graphics 
| Project for creating a truly open-source graphics card, announced today at 
| FOSDEM 2008 that next month he hopes to ship the first of his prototype 
| graphics cards. However, before you get your hopes up, this is a very low-end  
| graphics card. The current Project VGA board has 16MB of SD RAM, Xilinx 
| Spartan 3 s400 FPGA under 100MHz, and uses the PCI bus.

| The OGP grew rapidly after I first started it, and it's continued to
| grow gradually since then. Now, we have Traversal Technology and also
| the Open Hardware Foundation that's dedicated to the non-profit,
| community, and democratic aspects of the project. Our mailing list has
| over 500 members, including well-known Linux kernel hackers, 3D graphics
| experts, college professors, representatives of many other open
| source projects, hardware designers, and people who want to become
