Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu games
A quick thought, a friend long ago requested that card games not be added to my remaster of knoppix, as there is some link to gambling. His religion is against gambling. It probably is not a big deal for many of us. But I think it wouldn't hurt to leave out card games. - Original Message From: Jo Gerb gerb...@googlemail.com To: Javier Mora cousteaulecommand...@gmail.com Cc: Lubuntu lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Sent: Sun, May 2, 2010 6:30:48 PM Subject: Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu games Hm, I think that the completeness of lubuntu is quite important.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu games
Hi, whilst not wishing to offend anyones personal beliefs, I have never considered card solitaire (also called patience) or free-cell to be something that could be bet upon, unless you wish to bet you win. Both games are single player. Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu games
Have a look at the default games on puppy linux, which is also geared towards low-end systems. They even have a 3D Rubik's cube game. :) ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu games
Well, maybe you're right and a couple of games would be nice. That F1 game looks nice, but it doesn't seem to be in Ubuntu's repositories, so it probably cannot be included on Lubuntu.
