My idea was, as George said, an meta-task that installs, over the GUI of your choice, a kind of game catalog very simple to use. To push it further, I imagine something like "Game Market Place" app from where one can install all the frre/open source games already available in the distro, but also the possibility to buy the commercial ones, like steam :)
If I'm so in advance with my ideas please tell me to STOP :) I have three kids and when it came to computer all that they are interested in (at this younger age) are GAMES, and I love playing games together with them. Mageia could contribute to this "family magic" :) PS: "crazy geeks" was a flattery for you as I admire a lot people that can do things I'll never do, in some kind they do "magic" for me ;) Best regards, Florin Catalin RUSSEN Romanian Translation Team ----- Original Message ---- From: Marc Paré <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 19 October, 2010 22:02:51 Subject: Re: [Mageia-discuss] Positive Reinforcement Le 2010-10-19 13:30, George J.
