Keeping the Myths Alive PDF Print

Some games inspire fans to create mods, add-ons, and other elements for their favorite game. It's all done in the spirit of extending the fun and longevity of the games. Certain fans of the Myth trilogy have taken this idea a step further: they have official access to the source code for the Myth games. Organized under the name MythDevelopers, this all-volunteer group of programmers, artists, and other talented people devote their time to improving and supporting further development of the Myth game series. Fans with original copies of any of the Myth games can download and apply patches or upgrades from the MythDevelopers team

Old adventures never end--they're just replayed. In the case of Ultima VII, open source gives the classic RPG added replay mileage with an engine overhaul. Exult replaces Ultima VII's engine so that the game can be played on other operating systems and platforms. It also expands the graphics capabilities of the game and adds features not present under the original engine. (A legal copy of Ultima VII is required in order to use Exult.)

Transparent proxying frees you from the hassle of setting up individual browsers to work with proxies. If you have a hundred, or a thousand, users on your network, it's a pain to set up each browser and to use proxies -- or to try to convince users to go into their preferences and type in these symbols they don't understand.

A bad side effect of email has been the rapid spread of viruses and spam, both of which are illegal in one form or another these days. However, this doesn't stop virus writers or spam moguls from doing what they do. This means that it's up to our mail server to protect our users from such things.

Special Note
In 1991, Linus Torvalds began to work on the Linux kernel while he was attending the University of Helsinki. Torvalds originally created the Linux kernel as a non-commercial replacement for the Minix kernel; he later changed his original non-free license to the GPLv2, which differed primarily in that it also allowed for commercial redistribution. Linux filled the last major gap in running a complete, fully functional free operating system.
