Hi,

Setting up an old dell mini 9 with a dead battery as a computer primarily intended for two children of a close friend. One account for daddy (admin account), and one account for the kids. I...

(I know it sounds homeworkey, but it isn't... bunch of us on a non-technical hobbyist website are constantly adding words to our little firefox dictionaries, attempting to use this to do it all at...

OpenRA - Command & Conquer Red Alert 1, now native for Ubuntu

So many great things already mentioned in this thread.

My favorite: Ender's Game.

Also fun: Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, all six pages, is fun because you can get 5 people to read the short...

@BarfBag and others:

Please keep the political commentary to a minimum; I don't want my thread to get closed. I'd love to have a conversation about the political implications of what we're seeing,...

Already had Guadalinex and gnuLinEx, added India's BOSS (thanks!), and the Russian state-sponsored distro... well, I always read about the mysterious Russian one as "coming soon!" but it's remaining...

Is anyone able to actually play Tiberium Alliances? Clicking 'play now' takes me into a loop wherein it asks for login information and eventually delivers me right back to the page with the big 'play...

Keep the windows install that you already have.

Some did. I'd drop some cash for native linux Civ 5 in a heartbeat. And once you've ported something to Mac, it automatically just got a lot easier to port it to linux.

If you look on over at the...

When you start OpenRA for the first time, it loads the default Red Alert mod and asks you if you want to download or insert game disc. If you select download, it only downloads those bits of the full...

Technically correct on every single level, and socially incorrect on every single level.

...why not the native Urban Terror client?

Possible to get a direct .deb download?

Watching replays and learning from them is very helpful.

The bots are not an effective learning tool for multiplayer; you've kind of just got to suck it up, get destroyed in multiplayer a bunch,...

New release is out today.

In a few days.

It contains none of the old single player campaign, though once you re-acquaint yourself with the game you can challenge yourself by doing skirmishes of you vs multiple bots at...
