Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console

An anonymous reader writes "A new 64-bit Linux CD can instantly turn an AMD Opteron-equipped PC into the ultimate gaming console, according to Super Computer Inc. (SCI). The company has created a distribution of the popular America's Army multi-player strategy game on a bootable Linux CD, that it says was developed in partnership with AMD, nVidia, and the US Army."

How far we've come since the days of Apple IIe and Commodore64 and Kaypro. With all this new technology, it's interesting to see the return of the "Application Diskette".

how long before we have another columbine-type scenario where the kids have learned team combat tactics from playing these kinds of games and are far more successful?

Just have armed teachers camping at the respawn points. That'll learn'em!

[mao che minh]

How come no matter what the topic at hand is, some clown has to jump up and down and go on-and-on about Gentoo?

I am so sick of hearing about Gentoo everytime I read Slashdot. If Gentoo were a living person I would kick him in the ghoulies.

Turning $2000 worth of equipment into $150 of value is a Department of Defense specialty.
