    Or... Package your game into a vmdk with something which uses WINE and XFCE or LightDm... Just a handful of megabytes and everyone is happy Plus, no need for installers or the like. Write once, run anywhere... If that rings a bell
    I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.

    Another project of mine is do something like that: a simple Linux/FreeDOS/ReactOS distro that can run on CD (AKA. Live CD) and make it simple for developers to add games/apps. That is the modern version of good old autoboot diskettes.

    In theory a minimal system with just the desktop environment on top of the linux kernel and the libraries you need should zip up pretty small... So it'd be like a Java VM, just full on x86

    Might do this for my entries from now on...
