    For all those who like a linux distro with also lots of games added, there is now SuperGamer Supreme.
    Based on Vector Linux (based on Slackware), it offers free games, as well as some demos of proprietary games, like: Quake Wars, Doom 3, Prey, Unreal Tournament, Quake 4, Enemy Territory, Urban Terror, America's Army and much more games besides usual stuff like Firefox, OpenOffice3, k9Copy, Gimp etc.

    Download torrent link 7,9 GB (double layer DVD!)/Supergamer.org forum.
    Mind you, the torrent is slow.
    Cheers.

    When you say it offers games like Doom3, you still have to own the game right?

    ^ Err...was a tad too enthusiastic.
    Should have included their line "as well as some demos of proprietary games".

    I saw this on distrowatch and the problem seems to be that the .iso file is meant to be burned to a dual layer dvd.

    Speak for yourself... mahjongg runs on any machine :p

    I'm guessing that with the state of the ATI drivers, this distro is mostly pitched at Nvidia users?

    I consider this a dead distro, I repeat! Its already DEAD.
    Lets start with the size and time to download it! by the way It might be better for this distro to take it near 4.7GB with wine+few windows demo and call it (Linux can do games or something) mixing demos with full isn't really my type on product.

    @Pitabred that game is more complex to be called game, probably thats one game that I don't know how to play. I call it Brain-Benchmark (Testing your brain speed of doing it) ;)

    I agree. It's much easier and more efficient to start small and build with what you need.

    Download was fast. 2Mbs+

    Install and trying to run Live CD was a failure on VMWare. I got up to the User/Pass screen then ran startx command. It tried to go though but I had all sorts of errors.
