icepack linux

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."

Well, it's too bad Graham Todd didn't leave his email address in the article. WineX is done by Gaviel and Transgaming, not CodeWeavers.
