Game Drift Linux review

[ Thanks to Linux User &
Developer magazine
for this link. ]

“Game Drift treats its Ubuntu 10.10 base with subtle tweaks as
opposed to sweeping changes. Compared to other game-centric distros
like Ultimate Edition Gamers, which weighs in at a hefty 4GB, Game
Drift is as light as a feather with the standard ISO able to
comfortably fit on a standard CD. This is because instead of
pre-installing a plethora of games, applications and add-ons, Game
Drift is more interested in providing the means of quickly and
easily installing the latest open source and Windows-based games.
It does this through a strategic partnership with Crossover Games
(more on this later) and by offering a web-based Game Store, a
shortcut for which sits on an otherwise completely clean, black,
Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.”
