icepack linux
[Posted August 14, 2002 by ris]
Icepack Linux is a
built-from-scratch, easy-to-use, desktop distribution. Adrian Hilgardth
is the father, maintainer and main developer of icepack linux. There
have been a few recent changes at the icepack website, including
Adrian's Corner, with
articles intended for Linux beginners, computer newbies, and Windows users
taking their first steps. A
French language web
site has joined the existing
German
web site. Icepack is currently at version 2.5, and a new
i3 development site is now available
to track the the road to version 3.0.
Graham Todd has written a review
of icepack linux 2.5. "First, Icepack-Linux 2.5 is a desktop
distro. It comes without a hint of Apache in sight, but it comes with
more games than I've ever seen in a Linux release. Almost two A4 pages
of titles make up the list, and whilst I am not a games player and so can
only go on the standard of games I tried from the list, they're not bad.
To get a better selection, you're going to have to use WineX, which can
be downloaded separately from the Codeweavers website."
