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.

Now, gamers will want to play on Linux for the low latency on online games.

Before that you have to download it. Well, using p2p mechanisms.

I always download my games before playing them. I don't know what you mean here.

I think they mean peer to peer ^arrr^

But is that related to my comment? I don't understand why he's talking about downloading games via P2P.
