I have the cheapbytes version, as I am only on a slow modem link, but I have always purchased the powerpack version as it became available. I found this link on another mailing list, http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&threadid=29767 "TransGaming and MandrakeSoft send along an announcement of the upcoming release of "Mandrake Linux Gamer Edition" which will be shipping on November 9, 2001. Included in the bundle will be Mandrake Linux 8.1, Electronic Arts' The Sims and TransGaming's WineX portability technology which allows many other games designed for Windows to run on Linux. In their words: "This release marks the beginning of a new era for gamers and Linux users, as dual booting is no longer necessary for gaming on Linux." MSRP for the bundle is $69.99." Is Mandrake holding out on us? Is this just a rumor? Sounds like it will be pretty cool to me. -- Alex Linux 2.4.12-ac5 #2 Mon Oct 22 16:27:14 EDT 2001 i686 9:20pm up 3:25, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
