From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been working on this project for over a year now, and I'm sure many people here will like it !

This is a game where the player must complete technical challenges about various technologies (programming, cryptography, networking, etc...) to progress through the story. It puts the Unix family under the light, and features many opensource technologies all running on a single server!

Check out the about page for details, and happy hunting !

Sounds interesting, I'll check it out.

I've only read the intro, sounds very promising. I'll have to get to my computer.
