Time to enjoy some Windows games…

So you want Linux games?

Me too! After using Linux for a number of years, I’ve gotten to the point where I know that there are quite a few good-quality games available, but I have a hard time convincing Windows and Mac users of that.
So, I decided to create a post highlighting what are, in my opinion, the top Linux [...]

Blender 2.48 includes some very fancy features – among them, GLSL shading and editing in realtime.

If you type in man wacom at the bash prompt, you can find out how to adjust your Wacom’s pressure curve in Linux. That’s the hard way, though. You can also use this nifty little program!

There’s still a chance for you to get an Open Pandora handheld! Their frontpage reports that 2000 units were sold in the first 6 hours, but implies that there are a few left still.
Good luck!
(edit: The final orders are in, and they decided to manufacture as many units as they got orders for instead of [...]
