Why make this a dual-layer exclusive? I’m interested but would rather have a volume 1 and volume 2 that I can burn straight away, without having to presumably buy a single DL disc from a local computer shop at an inflated price (don’t want to buy bulk).
The author has limited the popularity of his release.

Would an 8GB Flash drive and Unetbootin work for this?

I thought this was based on Puppy when I saw those text config screens, the only place I’ve seen those in the last 4 years.

Heh, heh. Yeah, good point dragonmouth. It’s cutting edge and retro at the same time.

Chances are that I will pass on this one since it just isn’t my style. You did, however, Jim, make this an interesting review, interesting enough to make me wonder, “Am I missing out on something?” ;-) Well, I’ll resist, but it was a good review, thanks!

Brian,

Well it might be worth downloading it if you can burn a dual layer DVD. But if you really aren’t interested in gaming then this is probably a remastered distro you can pass on.

But I’m sure there are some gamers that will like it.

Should that not read “Unreal Tournament”? and, although I like th econtent of your interview, I don’t think you did it justice. Having no sound on 2 machines in a gaming distro is more than a little bug. I would have rather you’d worked out how to fix it and posted that as well.

Thanks for catching that goof on UT, Homer. It’s pretty funny since I used to play it all the time. I think I had a brain fart when I was writing that part of the review.

As far as the sound goes, I was not able to get it working. I did try but it may have been a problem with the macs, I’m just not sure.
