    Heroes Of Newerth Open Beta OUT!!!!

    Heroes of Newerth is a DOTA based game which provides player stats, powerful matchmaking system, game reconnection, diverse heroes and my favourite, leaver protection!

    This game was closed beta for a while but now It has just become open so everyone can test and play it.

    Here is a video so you can get the idea:

    Download directly from SNOTT the windows version, notice that you have to create an account on www.heroesofnewerth.com to be able to play.


    Download for WINDOWS

    Download for LINUX

    Linux Install Instructions:

    Make the file executable with:

    chmod +x HoNClient-0.3.1.sh

    run in terminal with:

    $sudo ./HoNClient-0.3.1.sh

    UPDATE: This game download is very old, but I choose to keep it here so you guys have an alternate mirror for downloading the game in case hon servers get overloaded, I will try to upload the new version of Linux client when I have some spare time, also notice this game is now totally FREE to play!

    ENJOY!!!

  • Chakra Linux – KdeMod and ArchLinux based distribution

    The chakra-project is an Arch Linux based distribution with a tweaked kde environment. KDE is a very cool desktop environment but its very heavy on system resources, what chakra developers are doing is tuning this desktop environment to provide a faster experience to the use, pair that with the ROCK-SOLID ArchLinux backend and you have one of the best Linux distributions available to date.

    They provide a hassle free live cd that anyone can try, and best of all, ITS FREE!!!

    Another plus side, its that the Arch Linux community is very savvy Linux-wise and will help you in everything they can I you have a problem.

    you can it even install chakra in an USB drive and have your operating system follow you wherever you go!

    Here is a screenshot of the live cd installer: live cd

    And to wrap it up, the also made some very nice applications to control your system, shaman and arxin. The first one is a frontend for “pacman” the software installer and application maintainer for arch linux, the second one is a tool for tweaking many advanced system settings (like your boot parameters) in an easy way.

    Here is a screenshot so you can see how it looks once installed, pretty sleek if you ask me.

    So go ahead and give it a try you wont regret it.
