There's growing interest in the Linux operating system as a platform for gaming and game development. It may not be the right choice for everyone, but for all you Linux enthusiasts and hobbyists out there, Golden Drake Studios (GDS) is proud to offer GDL!

As a highly-modified fork of the Anarchy installer, GDL is simply a convenient method for installing a customized version of Arch Linux. No warranty or promise of technical support is provided: it’s just a fun open source side project that we hope might be of interest to a few folks out there beyond our walls.
