Linux is a clone of the Unix kernel, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix kernel, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking.

Stendhal is a multiplayer online adventure game (MMORPG) developed using the Arianne game development system. It features a rich and expanding world in which you can explore towns, buildings, plains, caves, and dungeons. You will meet NPCs and acquire tasks and quests for valuable experience and cold hard cash. Your character will develop and grow, and with each new level up become stronger and better. With the money you acquire, you can buy new items and improve your armour and weapons. You can also roam the world in search of evil monsters (and kill them).

Changes: This version fixed a chat bug, inspected slot and sync problems, fixed an afterlife problem, corrected a weapon seller bug that occurred when money equaled the item price, and fixed a problem with player stats not being stored. A version number mismatch in the client was fixed along with a bug with Items being dropped and the game not allowing players that equip them to logout correctly. An issue with the "where" command was fixed. Double clicking corpses now inspects them, and double click on creatures attacks them. Client initialization was sped up and daisy animations were slowed. Critical hit/critical failure was added.

were refactored. Corpses are now removed from
player slots on load. NPCs cannot be attacked
anymore, and they won’t increase your stats. A
problem in which the icon did not show on the Java
webstart version was fixed. The afterlife map was
