Game on! Anniston's Own Gaming System is Trying to Take on the Big Boys
,----[ Quote ]
| The designers are touting the EVO as the first open-source console based on
| Linux software. Linux is an open-source operating system, meaning users can
| modify and improve the software's design. Other video game systems use their
| own proprietary operating systems, Envizions CEO Derrick Samuels said.
|
| They say they can take any game designed for Linux-based computers and make
| it run on the EVO.
