“One thing that was missing from my newly migrated desktop is a
big escape key. No, not the little Esc key on the keyboard. One
bigger than that. A mind-rotting time waster that truly allows you
to escape for a bit. On my Red Hat desktop, freecell was the big
escape key. Now that I’m running Mandrake, I’ve found a new one.
It’s called ‘Frozen-Bubble.’

“I know what you’re thinking. Where have I been? Frozen-Bubble
has been winning every award in sight for free software games.
Linux Journal’s Editors Choice for best game? That would be
Frozen-Bubble. Linux Journal’s Readers Choice in the same category?
That would be Frozen-Bubble, too. The most popular game in our own
NewsForge.com poll for favorite Linux game? Frozen-Bubble. So how
in the world can I just be finding out how cool it is…?”
