[Mageia-discuss] Positive Reinforcement

[Catalin Florin RUSSEN]

My idea was, as George said, an meta-task that installs, over the GUI of your 
choice, a kind of game catalog very simple to use.
To push it further, I imagine something like "Game Market Place" app from where 
one can install all the frre/open source games already available in the distro, 
but also the possibility to buy the commercial ones, like steam :)

If I'm so in advance with my ideas please tell me to STOP :)

I have three kids and when it came to computer all that they are interested in 
(at this younger age) are GAMES, and I love playing games together with them. 
Mageia could contribute to this "family magic" :)

PS: "crazy geeks" was a flattery for you as I admire a lot people that can do 
things I'll never do, in some kind they do "magic" for me ;)

Best regards,

Thanks, nice to exchange with you as well. Hope the Gaming support comes
