It's a great idea - for instance if you have a locked down work PC, then a Knoppix Gamer would allow you to have fun without affecting any configuration.
There is also the Morphix gamer edition, which is a sister product, and is great fun, but I like the idea of a pure Knoppix base.

Yeah, I was going to mention MORPHIX. However, there haven't been any new releases since 0.4-1 which as about a year old now. So some of the games are a bit dated. For instance, you cannot play bzflag online with the MORPHIX Gamer CD because no game servers support the older version of bzflag installed on the CD!

There is also KnoppiXMAME for emulator fans.

Hmm, bzflag is included in the gamers version. I'll talk to Klaus about
a gamers edition (it should be synced with the "normal" Knoppix releases). CD or DVD?

My vote would be CD, at least at first. You can fit lots of smaller games on a CD (like the many that have been removed from Knoppix over the various releases). As you get to the larger games you might well need a DVD, but it will serve fewer users and they likely will be the users who install to hard drive and just download the game they want anyway.

I vote for both, Game DVD and CD! (sure could get alot of games on a DVD....)
Throw in some emulators too!

My kids like it OK - it gets about 30% of their game-playing attention, with the rest going to the leading brand. If anyone wants the .iso, let me know,
michael.creel@uab.es
jur, mcreel, are you studying (or teaching
) in the UAB? I'm a student of ETSE (1st year)
If you want we can meet in the university and give me the ISO (and maybe take a beer together or something
)

your CD works great
Hey, Mcreel I downloaded your Pol and Ong Live CD and its great. Loads of games. I wasn't able to get 3D acceleration on my systems with Nvidia card or Radeon, but it rocks on ATI Rage and Intel Extreme Graphics (i810). Thanks for the link!

anybody got a bittorrent link for either this "Pol and Ona's Linux" or the knoppix for gamers?
