Posted by Cliff on from the tis-the-season-form-making-lists dept.

Apostata asks: "As more and more people migrate (or consider migrating) to Linux, I'd like to know what Slashdot readers would vote for as their top picks for Linux-friendly games (either native or commercially ported) for 2001."

    Emacs, meta-x tetris. Doesn't get any better than this...

    Called "Keeping Up With Patches."

    First you must begin by being wary enough to defend your installation: are there new patches or kernels available for LINUX?

    Then if you see a new update, you must go on to the difficult stage-- downloading, compiling, and installing the new kernel.

    In the higher levels things get intense as there are "must have" updates that patch serious security holes, and a time limit on the "Production System" level.

    If you lose at the lower levels (the training levels) you can just start over. If you lose on the higher levels, you die / get fired.

    Real fun game, lemme tell ya. The Open Source Mullet guy here drinks 12 cups of coffee a morning because it's so much fun.

    My favorite Linux game is seeing how long you can read the mkisofs manpage without developing stigmata wounds, bleeding from the eyes, or going insane.
