Slashdot had a few gaming-related articlesof note:

• An articlenoting the release of a Linux-based bootable QuakeWorld CD: QWCD
• A discussionabout developing games with OpenAL, theopen source audio library.
• For those that play Flash-based games, notice that Flash 7 wasreleased forLinux.
• Finally, a blurbmentioning that Raven’s Quake IV will not befeatured at this year’s QuakeCon.

The Linux Game Tome pointed out theserecent releases:
