Linux Game Night

Just south of me in Orego Stuart McKim attended a game night were everybody used Linux. They used LiveCDs that have gaming as their primary focus. He writes:

I tried out three different iso’s: LLGP, GamesKnoppix, and a Morphix games disk, but found that LLGP, which is short for Linux Live Gaming Project, was the only reliable one.

This is an awesome idea. Because LiveCDs don’t affect the computer and don’t require installation, you can host a LAN party and nobody has to think about installations or viruses. I’ve got some 500MHz machines sitting around that I might use to this end. Stuard wrote that they played a lot of Armegatron (and awesome tron-based game) and I think a LAN party could have a lot of fun with that.
