UT2003 LiveCD

Posted by michael on from the plug-and-play dept.

ztc writes "Gentoo has added a Unreal Tournament 2003 demo to a version of their Linux-based LiveCD. It has up-to-date nvidia graphics drivers, sound drivers, network drivers, etc. on the CD ready-to-play. LiveCDs have always been a great way to sway potential Linux-converts, but this should really impress them! You can download the iso here." A sneaky way to promote Gentoo. I like it.

    LiveCDs have always been a great way to sway potential Linux-converts, but this should really impress them!

    Zealot: "And look at this!! You plug in the CD, and it runs Unreal Tournament!!"

    Normal Person: "But... my Windows already does that."

    Zealot: "But you don't understand! It's better because it's Linux!!"

    Normal Person: "But it looks the same to me... ?"

    Zealot: "Well, yeah, but that's the point! It looks the same, but it's on Linux!!"

    Normal Person: "Er.. OK. Show me The Sims next!"

    Zealot: "Give me a few hours to get Quake working..."

    Zealot > Look at this! It's a demo of Unreal Tournament under Linux. You just put in the CD and it runs.

    Poor dude > What's all that writing?

    Zealot > That's it booting. You don't need to worry about that.

    Poor dude > Why's it taking so long?

    Zealot > That's the amazing thing! Gentoo compiles the kernel, the libraries, the compiler, the compiler again, X, AND unreal tournament before running it! So it runs really fast!

    Poor dude > So how long does it take to get working?

    Zealot > About 3 days from pressing the power on button. But it's fast!

    Since you can no longer get it from the site, in line with other helpful people in other discussions, I have copied the entire CD, gzipped it, uuencoded it and pasted it below. Enjoy!
