Linux Tycoon game simulates making your own Linux distro


Lunduke has created Linux Tycoon, a $4 sim-game that simulates making your own GNU/Linux distribution. It looks like rather a lot of fun, actually:

So what exactly do you do in a Linux Distro Building game?

So glad you asked! Here's some examples of the thrilling challenges you'll find in Linux Tycoon:

* Analyzing and selecting software packages.
* Fixing Bugs.
* Managing volunteers and paid staff.
* Keeping the total size (in MB) of your Distro at a reasonable level.
* And so much more!

Seriously though. It is fun. (It is a game, after all. You don't actually fix bugs yourself.)

Basically take all the fun parts of building your own Linux Distro… and take out all the work. Bam! Instant entertainment!
