LinuxForKids announces the LinuxForKids CD Collection, Volume 1.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif., (Feb. 1st, 2000)

On February 1st, 2000, LinuxForKids.com (www.linuxforkids.com) will be 4 months old ! With now well over 50 different titles listed, through our own research and thanks to our readers' submissions, we increased our initial number tenfold !

To celebrate this anniversary, we are glad to announce the release of the LinuxForKids Collection, Volume 1, CD-Rom. This CD features all the titles listed so far on LinuxForKids.com, plus all the necessary libraries to compile and run them. In all over 50 different software packages and 20 libraries. Over 100 Mb of data available instantly, no more waiting for your download to go through, and you won't have to spend hours on the internet looking for the right libraries. We have educational games in math, spelling and science, and a lot of fun games too, arcade or simulation (but no violent games). Most of the packages are available in source tarball, for maximum compatibility across all platforms. You can check our web site to see the games we currently have listed.

We are glad to provide this as a service to the Linux community and the parents who want to provide their children with some alternative to the regular games found in most stores. All the titles are developed by independent programmers who write software on their spare time and contribute to the Open Source movement. This CD will be available starting February 3rd, 2000. You can purchase it directly from our web site: linuxforkids.com. All the profits from this sale will go towards the maintenance of the LinuxForKids.com web site, and the creation of more children titles.

Requirements: A Linux (or BSD) distribution already installed, along with the development packages and libraries. (gcc/egcs and the header files). From 10 Mb to 200 Mb of free hard drive space depending on the number of titles you want to install.
