Thanks for all these reaction! I'll distribute a ubuntu 10.10 (by then) cd-rom over the network and I will create a local ubuntu mirror so players can even choose more games. I've found this tutorial (<a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror">http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror</a>) about installing such a mirror server with apt-mirror but its for ubuntu edgy. Is this still the best way to create such a local mirror? Is it correct to download these parts of the repository :main, restricted and universe without the sources? Promotional materials about ubuntu (without gaming) is also welcome! If needed we can return them afterwards. with kind regards Bram <div class="gmail_quote">2010/8/21 tim Van Bruyssel <<a href="mailto:timvanbruyssel@gmail.com">timvanbruyssel@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">edit: More games @: <a href="http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.04/" target="_blank">http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.04/</a> <div class="gmail_quote">2010/8/21 tim Van Bruyssel <<a href="mailto:timvanbruyssel@gmail.com" target="_blank">timvanbruyssel@gmail.com</a>><div><div></div><div class="h5"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">I found a list of games for Linux on (<a href="http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/games/games-voor-linux-%28niet-in-de-repo%27s%29/" target="_blank">http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/games/games-voor-linux-%28niet-in-de-repo%27s%29/</a>) America’s Army: Special Forces <a href="http://www.americasarmy.com/" target="_blank">http://www.americasarmy.com/</a> Ultimate Stunts <a href="http://ultimatestunts.nl/" target="_blank">http://ultimatestunts.nl/</a> Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion <a href="http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/</a> D2X-XL <a href="http://www.descent2.de/" target="_blank">http://www.descent2.de/</a> ManiaDrive <a href="http://maniadrive.raydium.org/" target="_blank">http://maniadrive.raydium.org/</a> TrueCombat: Elite <a href="http://www.truecombat.us/" target="_blank">http://www.truecombat.us/</a> Excalibur: Morgana’s Revenge v3.0 <a href="http://excaliburworld.com/emr/emr3/index.html" target="_blank">http://excaliburworld.com/emr/emr3/index.html</a> Battlestar GalacticaBattlestar Galactica: Beyond the Red Line <a href="http://www.game-warden.com/bsg/" target="_blank">http://www.game-warden.com/bsg/</a> VDrift <a href="http://vdrift.net/" target="_blank">http://vdrift.net/</a> Vendetta (volledig gratis, je kan wel updaten naar een uitgebreidere betaalversie) <a href="http://www.vendetta-online.com/" target="_blank">http://www.vendetta-online.com/</a> World Of Padman <a href="http://www.worldofpadman.com/" target="_blank">http://www.worldofpadman.com/</a> Spring <a href="http://spring.clan-sy.com/" target="_blank">http://spring.clan-sy.com/</a> Return to castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory <a href="http://returntocastlewolfenstein.filefront.com/file/Enemy_Territory;14408" target="_blank">http://returntocastlewolfenstein.filefront.com/file/Enemy_Territory;14408</a> Danger from the Deep <a href="http://dangerdeep.sourceforge.net/index.html" target="_blank">http://dangerdeep.sourceforge.net/index.html</a> Penumbra: Overture (Enkel de demo is gratis) <a href="http://penumbra-overture.com/game.php" target="_blank">http://penumbra-overture.com/game.php</a> Eternal lands <a href="http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/download.php" target="_blank">http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/download.php</a> Urban Terror <a href="http://www.urbanterror.net/news.php" target="_blank">http://www.urbanterror.net/news.php</a> Second Life <a href="http://secondlife.com/" target="_blank">http://secondlife.com/</a> Dropteam (enkel de demo is gratis: 1 level slechts, wel alle functies van de betaalversie) <a href="http://www.battlefront.com/products/dropteam/" target="_blank">http://www.battlefront.com/products/dropteam/</a> GLEST 3.0 <a href="http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/RPG/Glest-4083.shtml" target="_blank">http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/RPG/Glest-4083.shtml</a> EVE (betalend, 14 dagen gratis demo) <a href="http://www.eve-online.com/" target="_blank">http://www.eve-online.com/</a> Savage <a href="http://www.s2games.com/savage/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.s2games.com/savage/index.php</a> Op de site kun je ook doorklikken naar Savage2 en hoewel er op die pagina een Tux staat vind ik geen Linux download.

Doing so you will have your restricted drivers enabled if you applayed them before making your live cd with remastersys. You can also intall a few games and heve them ready on your live cd. <div>> >> -Does ubuntu-be have any promotional material available regarding >> linux gaming or ubuntu that could be used?
