Entertainment Pack?

2009-10-22 Thread John Moser
There's a bunch of open source clones of Microsoft Entertainment Pack games. I'd be sufficiently ammused by actually including them all in Ubuntu... and maybe an Entertainment Pack option. Ubuntu would probably better serve its users including other things, though, rather than just an attempted

Whether I'm becoming old fashioned or whether I've been using Linux for too long, I dunno. But 90% of the applications that I use are command line driven. The only graphical apps I use on a daily basis are Firefox, Evolution. And of course the occasional use of The Gimp, Inkscape, Brasero, Devede
