For some time now, a few companies have been nice enough to port their games in-house and often release binaries for free, some companies not only release native ports, but also release source! Other companies, known as porting houses exist solely to port games to Linux. Usually boxed with the hope that they can be sold at retail.

Currently, Debian is only available for Linux, but with Debian GNU/Hurd and Debian on BSD kernels, we have started to offer non-Linux-based OSes as a development, server and desktop platform, too. However, these non-linux ports are not officially released yet. The Hurd is a set of servers running on top of the GNU Mach microkernel. Together they build the base for the GNU operating system. Please see http://www.gnu.

There are many online stores where you can find commercial games, http://www.tuxgames.com/ for instance provides a wide selection to gamers in Europe and the United States. For commercial games ported by a specific company, please see the following questions.

Absolutely, that's what it's for! You may use the BlitzMax Game Framework (or portions of it) royalty free for commercial use (however, the source code must not be made public.)

Not unless someone volunteers to do it :) It would be an understatement to say it would be a non-trivial task. Wine might offer a way to port the Gecko / control to Linux / x86 Unix systems using the Win32 API but linking to WINELib. Note that the control uses ATL which might have certain licencing issues surrounding it. The alternative is to write an open source ATL look-a-like, with the subset of functionality that the control requires.

Of course. In fact, you do not even have to register an account in order to watch Rummy games and tournaments. All you need to do is download the Rummy Royal software, enter the lobby and click on the table you would like to view. It's as easy as that!

I would be interested into doing a Linux port. However, since I am an ignorant Windows nerd I have no idea how it can be done. What I will do is releasing more and more components as open source over time and so people, who know what they are doing can work on it. One thing I do know is that porting the UI is probably not hard since it is Delphi and can be recompiled with Kylix relatively simple.

To get rid of a bot use the "getplayernum" and "kick" commands in the console: > getplayernum Planky Then the console returns 1 > Kick 1 The easiest way to get legacy working over a direct cable connection is have it run either IPX or TCP/IP. Then it works like normal Internet/Network play.

Kurt has ported two Linux NIC drivers 'quite easily' - they were pretty self-sufficient, not relying on much support from the kernel.

In general, *nix programs need very little porting. Simply follow the installation instructions. If you don't know—and don't know how to find out—the answers to some of the questions asked during the installation procedure, you can guess, but this tends to produce buggy programs. In this case, you're probably better off asking someone else to do the port.

Unless I get laid off again, no, I don't currently have any time to spend on additional ports. (And if I do, the most likely next platform would be PocketPC.) If you are experienced in one of these platforms and C coding and would like to partner with me on doing a port, please let me know. Adventurous Linux users may want to try running the Win32 version on top of Wine.

this point, we don't have official plans to port Transana to Linux. With the new video infrastructure for Transana 2.20, it actually shouldn't be too difficult to create. Rumor is that Transana mostly works on Linux when run from source code. Window sizing is a bit dodgy, and the File Management Tool doesn't work because there isn't a Linux version of the SRB dynamic library. Otherwise, it appears to work acceptably. Please note, however, that this is NOT officially supported.

KaeilOS supports a broad range of architectures, is based upon the mainstream Linux kernel. And it is the only GPL licensed commercial linux embedded distribution.

The Security-enhanced Linux kernel enforces mandatory access control policies that confine user programs and system servers to the minimum amount of privilege they require to do their jobs. When confined in this way, the ability of these user programs and system daemons to cause harm when compromised (via buffer overflows or misconfigurations, for example) is reduced or eliminated. This confinement mechanism operates independently of the traditional Linux access control mechanisms.

Games such as Project: Starfighter and Blob Wars are available as RPMs. It would be best to install these games using the RPMs if you are able to. Simply download the RPM and either install it using your preferred package manager (for example, KPackage) or via the command line (if you know how).

You can create Linux games in C, C++, Java, Python, etc. that would run on any Linux machine, but you can not create XBox games. There is a project to create an open free alternative to Microsoft's SDK, but I do not think it is anywhere near done. OpenXDK appears to be close to being finished, its lacking networking suppourt atm though [2] (http://www.openxdk.org)

By default, RDP uses port 3389 for all of its traffic. There are instructions in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for how to change this port.

Using JACK on a 64-bit platform requires baudline x86_64. Some Linux distributions, such as 64-bit Ubuntu 7.10 don't, include the 32-bit compatibility libraries as default, so baudline x86_64 is required for those installations too. The 32-bit i686 version of baudline runs about 4% faster than the 64-bit x86_64 version. So if performance is important then running 32-bit i686 baudline on a x86_64 CPU and 64-bit operating system would be beneficial.

In fact, baudline has obtained Linux technical validation to run on IBM iSeries and pSeries Power machines. Contact us for more information.

Some developers use Linux as a low end UNIX development system. Also some companies which require very low runtimes costs find the Linux licensing attractive. We are also committed to making WM_MOTIF available on all popular UNIX systems. Our library is a commercial product and is not covered by the GPL. We are offering a special promotional price on the Linux platform. Call or e-mail for details. No. There are no runtime royalties or license fees with WM_MOTIF.

Yes, the CS linux server is put out with each release, usually on the same day and a few hours before the windows release.

ADB) In this FAQ, we have tried to use the word "Linux" or the expression "Linux kernel" to designate the kernel, and GNU/Linux to designate the entire body of GNU/GPL'ed OS software, as found in the various distributions. We prefer to call a cat, a cat, and a GNU, a GNU. ;-) The purpose of the FAQ is to provide information on the Linux kernel and avoid debates on e.g. semantics issues. Further discussion of the relationship between GNU software and Linux can be found at http://www.gnu.

Each of the three schools runs their own intranet for their mission critical services and to ensure compliance with software licensing contracts. Scrutinize any office building downtown, you will find the occupants sharing the same electricity, the same air conditioning, the same water and the same sewer system. But different businesses do not share their computer networks. The three schools periodically entertain proposals for moving to a single data port in the classrooms.

Each JediServers.com game server gets its own unique IP address, with the port generally set up at 28070 or 29070.
