Hikarunix: The Go Distro

Posted by michael on from the go-fish dept.

LGRiske writes "In this day and age of the Unreal Final Fantasy of Doom 3 it's nice to see a 4000 year old board game keep up the pace. There's now a whole Linux distribution dedicated to learning, playing and studying the oldest strategy game in the world, Go/Baduk/WeiQi.

It is meant for Go players of all levels whether you've never even heard of the game or have been playing for decades."
