All pure eye candy but still good to show off.</p> <br /> <p>I had Eve running for 4 hours non stop. Eve Online is also very good for making nice wallpaper.

I was aware of it some time ago but couldn't get it working on my Linux Desktop at the time (I now use Fedora 7). But one day I tapped in yum install glest and there it was. So looks like it is being actively built for various Linux distributions, which is nice! It is also available on Windows but I have not seen an OS X version.<br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.dave-wright.co.uk/archives/14-Glest-Review-of-free-3D-real-time-strategy-game.html#extended">Continue reading "Glest - Review of free 3D real time strategy game"</a> Thu, 27 Sep 2007 23:46:00 +0100 http://www.dave-wright.co.uk/archives/14-guid.html
