  1. Combine Linux with game on CD by endeitzslash · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Has any company ever tried to actually put the OS on the CD with the game?

    I.e., instead of saying "Windows compatible" or "Linux compatible", just having you boot the game from the CD which loads an operating system (like a Knoppix CD) and then loads the game on top?

    It seems this would appeal to companies because it would give them some consistency in the operating system setup. Of course, the OS would have to have great hardware detection ability. Also there is the hard drive issue I guess. Hmmm. . .
