“I recently did a review of Ultimate Edition 2.8, a
very large derivative of Ubuntu. Ultimate Edition 2.8 comes in more
than one flavor though and this week I decided to take a look at
Ultimate Edition 2.8 Gamers. Linux is not famous for gaming; gaming
has actually been the Achilles heel of Linux. Ultimate Edition 2.8
Gamers strives to make gaming a bit more visible and accessible in
Linux.

“Before I get into the quick look, please note that since the
emphasis is on gaming the UE developers have removed some of the
software more commonly found in the regular version of Ultimate
Edition. For example, OpenOffice.org is not included by default
when you boot into your UE 2.8 Gamers desktop. It is, of course,
still available for download so you can easily add it to your
desktop if you want.”
