[Info] Linux gaming distros

[Alessandro17]

Well, the situation is not particularly encouraging, because some of the available distributions are pretty old.

 

There is the Super Gamer distro:

There is also Games Knoppix, which hasn't released since 2005:

Here is its current status:

There was also a one off (AFAIK) Wolvix Games Edition, not very impressive, IMO:

And then there is a distro devoted to Go players, Hikarunix:

What I personally miss is a distro for Chess players.

 

Update: a new gaming Live DVD has been released, linuX-gamers Live DVD 0.9.1:

To be noticed that the latest Sabayon is also "gaming oriented"

But whether it will work for you is a big question mark. It doesn't for me.
