It helps me to remember what I have gone through while finding new games. The biggest reason to read or at least skim this document is because how can you search for something you do not know exists? I will show you ways to play games, what free and non-free games are available, and give links to help you get started on downloading them.

  • How to Turn Ordinary Linux to a Game Station / Best Games to Install and Play on Debian Linux
    Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog How to turn ordinary Linux to a game station / Best Games to install and play on Debian Linux Author : admin Hereby in this article I'll in short give you a quick way to install a number of my favourite linux games. In my view the games I'm going to suggest for installation are actually among the best existent games you could install and play on a Linux Desktop today. Many people say/believe Linux does not have games, or the games for Linux/BSD are not fully featured and are not comparable to the ones for Windows, most of this sayings and beliefs are actually a fairy tales. I should admit of course that Linux is still lacking behind in its gaming capabilities, even quite behind any Windows platform (Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to be as much realistic as possible here in my estimation). However little by little year by year as time passes by with time the situation for the coming generation of Linux Gamers is gettings better and better!. The amount of free and non-free games is rising day by day, wheter many of the large game producing companies like Blizzard, ID Software etc. are producing ports of their proprietary games for Linux. Along with that the amount of Linux Enthusiast gamers and hobbyist is constantly increasing. At the present moment probably there are more than 5000 games for Linux! Many of that games count still requires heavy testing or are not yet production ready and therefore they don't make it as a packages in the general Linux distributions repositories.

It is exhilarating, exhausting, terrifying, and thrilling all at once. Thank you Almighty Allah, the most gracious and the most merciful, for blessing me during this journey. I also would like to thank my sponsors, the Saudi Arabian government, Taibah University (TU), and University of California at Riverside (UCR) for sponsoring my Ph.D study. It would not have been possible to write this doctoral dissertation without the help and support of the amazing people around me, and I would like to thank each one of them individually for making this happens, finally! First of all, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my academic advisor, Professor Nael Abu-Ghazaleh. He always believed in me, supported me in my professional and personal lives, and guided and mentored me during this academic journey. He is and will always remain my best role model for a scientist, mentor, and teacher. It is truly my great pleasure and honor knowing him. I would like to thank my committee members, Professor Jiasi Chen, Professor Michail Faloutsos, and Professor Silas Richelson.

Revision 2.2 31 October 2003 Revised by: mc 'CRANBERRY' release: Major update. Revision 2.3 03 January 2004 Revised by: mc 'STRAWBERRY' release: Major update. Revision 2.4 25 January 2004 Revised by: mc 'MUSKMELON' release: Bugfixes. This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self−study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily−commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts. This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts.
