4MLinux Game Edition, a special Linux distribution based on Busybox, Dropbear, OpenSSH, and PuTTY, which also happens to feature a large number of games, is now at version 9.1 Beta.

The 4MLinux distributions are among the smallest ones in the world, but that doesn't mean the developers can't add a ton of interesting games into the mix.

“This is an updated version using 4MLinux 9.1 as the core system. The biggest change in this release has, in fact, nothing to do with gaming. Native language support has been added for English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Translations should work out of the box for all main applications (file manager, office, web browsers, SMPlayer, Wine),” reads the official announcement.

The 4MLinux collection includes the classic “shoot'em up” games (Abuse, Doom, Freedoom, Heretic, Hexen, Quake I, and Quake II), Liero (a real-time “Worms-like” game), Lincity (a construction and management simulation game), space shooters (XGalaga, Kobo Deluxe), and many others.

4MLinux is actually a series of mini Linux distributions focusing on the following four Ms: Maintenance (system rescue Live CD), Multimedia (e.g. playing video DVDs), Miniserver (using the inetd daemon), and Mystery (a collection of Linux games).

Check the official announcement for more details about this distribution. You can also download 4MLinux Game Edition 9.1 Beta right now from Softpedia.

Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
