[BozemanLUG] Interesting times for Linux gaming

[David Boreham]

I don't play games, but I think this is a pretty interesting point in 
the history of computing.

Since...oh...say...1979 with Unix V7 on the PDP-11, you've been able to 
buy a reasonably priced bare machine and install software of your choice 
on it, beyond the control of the hardware vendor. Many of us enjoy 
working in an industry where that is still the case, but for how much 
longer?

If the PC becomes a dongle for Windows, where are we going to get cheap 
powerful hardware to run our code?
