Move your browsers to http://andregarzia.com/revlinux/ and check it out. So
far I just put the VMWare Image out, the other images and LiveCD will follow
shortly. This is a SuSe based distro with revEnterprise, revStudio, MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Apache2, RevOnRockets installed. I created this from our emails
yesterday till today, so it is a bit rough. I will polish it more if there's
interest.
Nice work, Andre! Thanks for putting that together.
This is almost totally OT, but if you loved SimCity 2 and have been
longing for something like it you can run on modern systems, LinCity-NG
is a good time and free:
<http://lincity-ng.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page>
I have it on my Ubuntu netbook, but there are builds for OS X and
Windows too.
Note: the model is a bit different from SimCity's, with the introduction
of a new type of building called a "market", central to your city's
success. Definitely read the FAQ, worth the five minutes.
Andre, is it too silly to pre-install LinCity-NG in the next build of
your distro? Too much of a productivity killer? ;)
And if anyone has way too much time on their hands and would consider
making a Rev port, the source for SimCity 1 has been released under the
name "Micropolis" as open source and is available here in TCL/Tk as part
of the OLPC project:
<http://www.donhopkins.com/home/micropolis/>
Anyone can port it provided the work conforms to the GPL, and that they
don't use EA's trademark "SimCity" - so "RevCity"?
Even if that seems like way too much work, if you have any interest in
simulations the source is a good read. This snippet from an early
prototype of The Sims is an interesting skim:
