Games and Amusements

Additional games are available online; http://www.lokigames.com/ and http://www.linuxquake.com/ are two popular sites. Also, try searching the Internet for "linux games" using a search engine.
Computer programmers can be very entertaining people. Little applets are created and added to software for no other reason than to amuse. In GNOME, go to Main Menu => Applets and look through the applets available in Amusements, Clocks, and Utility. Fish will open a dialog box (Figure 8-2)displaying a quote that changes every time you click on the icon. gEyes will add two eyes to your panel that follow your cursor around the screen.

KDE has a menu option called Toys. Look through these when you want a little entertainment.
