Review: Supreme Super Gamer LiveDVD

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for
this link. ]

“Just for reference, my test system in this case is my
laptop, which has a dual core Athlon 64 X2 TK-57(1.90GHz), a 15.4”
Wide XGA screen, 2 GB of DDR2 667, a Super Multi DVD+R drive, and
an ATI Radeon X1200 IGP.

“Supreme Super Gamer is built on XFCE 4.4.1, Xorg 7.4, Kernel
2.6.30 and, interestingly enough, 3 different FOSS licenses. Namely
the BSDL, LGPL, and GPL. Another advantage of the design of Supreme
Super Gamer is the fact that it’s also a fully working Slackware
based desktop OS as well. So if you want to install this
distribution to your hard drive, you can. You can even install this
to a usb pen drive, although you’ll need an appropriately sized
drive or flash card (10gb or larger. 8gb is just a hair too
small).

“As for the list of applications included, it’s got a pretty
standard compliment of programs, including K3b, Gimp, Mplayer,
Xine, XMMS (so you can jam to your tunes while gaming), Limewire
(yes, you can pirate too while gaming. Although you wouldn’t really
do that, now would you? ), Xchat, Firefox, Open Office (yes, OO is
here too!) and many more.

“It’s also got good wireless support (saw my Atheros card
immediately and got it working without any fuss at all!), and has
some pretty darned good response speed for a LiveDVD. Of course, by
now you’re likely chomping at the bit asking, “So what about the
games?” Well, I’m getting to that. So have patience young
padawan.”
