Loki to Produce FreeBSD Compatible Games -- 11:48 am CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

This morning I noticed a press release stating that Loki, well-known for porting current Windows games to Linux, will begin working with BSDI to ensure that its Linux ports will also work with FreeBSD. Currently you can run many Linux binaries on FreeBSD via a set of compatibility libraries (and FreeBSD advocates claim that they often run faster than on Linux). Loki will begin certifying that its games work with those libraries. This is big news for FreeBSD fans, who previously had no guarantee that Loki's games would work in this way. I'm a big BSD fan myself--in my experience and use, FreeBSD has been more stable and faster than Linux. You can read the full press release here. Thanks for the tip, Daemonnews.
