[GLLUG] more Penguicon thoughts

[Eduardo Cesconetto]

I'm sorry if I am repeating myself here, but I still believe that if we
actually give more emphases to open source games, we would need more
"common" hardware to play, therefore it would be a lot easier to find
machines, even old iMac 400Mhz running YellowDog can play OpenQuake
fast, and they are a dime a dozen..
