Linux games..

LinuX-Gamers

A lot of people say,”Linux.. nah.. just programming.. for nerds/geeks.. we users cant use it.. aint got no games.. boring shit!! ” Well, apart from commenting that youre pretty wrong if you have that point of view, I’d give you something more.. You’ve heard of Fedora , Ubuntu.. What about LinuX-Gamers Live???? Details..??? Its a live cd that has ONLY games!!! No software, No web browsers, ONLY games. It’s live so doesnt need your precious disk space.
