Alessandro17 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It has been available for a couple of weeks. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=supergamer SuperGamer is a live DVD based on VectorLinux, indented to showcase gaming on Linux. The distribution is optimised for a gaming computer environment, with some tweaks to help speed up running from the live DVD. Extra games are added along with some demo editions of proprietary games. All games are native Linux games, but users wishing to run Windows games may install WINE or a related emulator, such as Cedega. You can only buy it or download with bittorrent: 1) http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=tor...cc77c32cb22fbc8 2) http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=tor...c8771f73a716421 As you can see, there are 2 different editions available. What is the difference? SuperGamer-VL2 BASE is more oriented towards older (legacy) NVIDIA and ATI cards. SuperGamer-VL2 MID-LAPTOP is more oriented towards newer cards (and laptops, of course) More here: http://supergamer.org/forum/index.php?topic=106.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have downloaded SuperGamer-VL2 MID-LAPTOP but I have only quickly booted it. It has a stunning beautiful wallpaper that I hope to make available for download here, later.

Hagar Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Off-topic posts moved.. As a long-time fan of vectorlinux, I'm pleased to see that it's being adopted for other projects, although as a (almost) non-gamer it will be of little relevance to me. My main use for vector has been older laptops, whose useful life can be greatly extended by a nice, clean, lightweight linux distro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I have always had a problem with Vector, since it exists, and I still have it with this latest derivative: it fails to install LILO to the root partition.
