Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console

Posted by timothy on from the as-if-you-have-an-opteron dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new 64-bit Linux CD can instantly turn an AMD Opteron-equipped PC into the ultimate gaming console, according to Super Computer Inc. (SCI). The company has created a distribution of the popular America's Army multi-player strategy game on a bootable Linux CD, that it says was developed in partnership with AMD, nVidia, and the US Army."

    Didn't Gentoo already do this when they created an Americas Army LiveCD for "any" x86 system?

    Well, alright, it didn't actually run on "any" system - maybe on ran on "some" systems but I seem to remember this was quite a while back when Icculus first ported it.
