“It’s summer. And frankly, that means no one’s all that
excited about working. Oh goodness no.

“In honor of the season of laziness, we’ve put together a list
of some of the most fun open source downloads you can find. No,
none of those office productivity tools here – just lots of
games, hobbyists’ tools and other time wasters. Is it quitting time
yet?

“In case you’re feeling too lazy to read all the way through the
article, the very “funnest” apps – the games – are at
the beginning. The rest are categorized and in alphabetical
order.

“I should probably write some more about the list here, but
– you know – it’s summer.

“Games

“1. Alien Arena

“If you like games like Unreal Tournament and Quake III, this
first-person shooter is for you. It’s a self-described “frag fest”
with tons of weapons and really great graphics. Operating System:
Linux, Windows, OS X.

“2. AssaultCube”
