Freeman on a free OS: Half-Life 2 now available on Steam for Linux
Author: Tech Blogger
You already know that Half-Life 2 for Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and OS X is excellent, but have you tried it on Linux? Well, yes, technically speaking, you couldn’t actually play that version until this week when it launched on Steam for Linux, but our question stands! Yeah, that’s what we thought. Now that that’s straightened out, we might warn you about the beta nature of HL2‘s Linux launch. Like other Valve titles recently released to Steam for Linux, Half-Life 2 is merely a beta for now. Should you already own a copy for another platform, it’ll show up in your Steam library as available for download like any other crossplatform game. Of course, you’re probably too tied up with Half-Life 2‘s recently added Oculus Rift support on PC to think about a plain old keyboard/mouse experience. And hey, we can’t blame you for that.
Interestingly, Valve’s internal Steambox is powered by Steam’s Linux version; it wouldn’t be hard to imagine Valve scaling up its Linux game library ahead of the retail debut of various Steamboxes (or Steamboxen, if you will). That remains to be seen, of course, as Valve’s made no official announcement regarding that project’s availability.

Left 4 Dead 2 now available on Linux, reclaims beta moniker
Author: Angela Chin
Valve’s bid to lure gamers away from Microsoft’s platform just got a little sweeter: Left 4 Dead 2 is finally available on Linux. Despite early appearances in early leaks, the game has been absent from Steam’s Linux compatible library. The wait might have been worth it — early ports of the game apparently only ran at six frames per second, but it eventually surpassed its Windows counterpart. Now, Valve is looking towards is community to fine tune the port even further, offering a fully functional beta client to Steam users who already own the game. Although the focus here is Linux compatibility, the company is offering the beta to Windows and Mac users as well, and says that running the game on any system helps with testing. Ready to take down the horde? Fire up Ubuntu and get started. Otherwise, you can check out the company’s official announcement at the source link below.

Debian 7.0 ‘Wheezy’ now available, lets Linux users mix architectures
Author:
In a market crowded by ocelots, cows and mountain lions, it’s nice to see an operating system that isn’t named after an animal. The trend bucking OS? Debian’s 7.0 update, Wheezy. Okay, it’s technically the name of a penguin from Toy Story, but we’ll give it a pass. The distro’s latest revision hit over the weekend, offering users an improved installer, new media codecs, UEFI support and a handful of tools to help users create their own XCP and OpenStack cloud severs. Perhaps even more significant is multiarch support, which allows the OS to install packages for both 32 and 64-bit machines simultaneously, improving support for legacy applications. The update includes a ton of software updates as well. Thinking of upgrading? You’ll find release notes and download information at the source link.

MacPup Linux LIVE – Forcing widescreen aspect ratios on video cards that inherently only support 4:3

Any information or program you choose to put into use from this video is done AT YOUR OWN RISK. As a precaution, I recommend backing up any irrecoverable data before installing and using ANY new software(s), including those shown in this video. The aspect ratio calculator used in this video is available free of charge and directly in your browser (no software install needed) from: andrew.hedges.name This video shows how a Linux LIVE CD (a legally free to download and free to use operating system that requires no installation to the hard drive and rather operates directly from booting from the burnt CD-R disc in a CD-ROM) can force wide screen aspect ratio video output (for example: on an LCD, LED, Plasma, or OLED high definition television (HDTV) or on a widescreen monitor) when using a video card graphics chipset adapter that inherently only supports squared 4:3 display aspect ratios. In this case, I confirmed the following on: macpup_529.iso (Confirmed 1440 X 900 @ 60 Hz (8:5) and 1280 X 768 @ 60 Hz (5:3))

No Comments »Fedora 18 Spherical Cow brings Linux fans a taste of Cinnamon, new installer
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Fedora’s Linux circulation may be taking on Ubuntu for the title of silliest update name, but that doesn’t lessen the effect of exactly what are commonly considerable revisions. See the just-launched Fedora 18 as an instance: while it’s called Spherical Cow, it presents both a simpler installer to replace an aging predecessor along with the choice of making use of the Gnome 3-based Cinnamon desktop we just recently saw in Linux Mint 13. There’s also FedFS, a file system that provides unity between numerous file servers, and newer versions of both Sugar and XFCE for those who like different interfaces. If these and many under-the-hood updates could overcome the giggling over rounded bovines, Fedora 18′s download and release notes are ready at the source links.
