After the success of both Ubuntu Christmas Edition and Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, Ubuntu Software made the impossible and they have released a new (and this time bigger) Ubuntu-based Live CD with many, many games and all the software from the previous products.
Ubuntu Ultimate Gamers Edition is a Live CD, based on the popular Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) Linux distribution, which includes a lot of games and some extra enhancements like new theme/sounds/splash screen/wallpaper, wireless Internet, Bluetooth integration, PPP integration, 35 extra fonts, a lot of GNOME themes, Beryl repository, iPod support, multimedia codecs, Nvidia video drivers, NTFS read/write support and all the current updates.

Looking through the included software in this release, we can see popular applications like Beagle search tool, Kopete messenger, Mplayer media player, VLC media player, Songbird audio player, Amarok audio player, K9Copy DVD ripper, DeVeDe DVD creator, DVD Shrink, Gaim messenger, KVIrc IRC client, Gftp FTP client, QEMU machine emulator, Avidemux video editor, Azureus P2P client, Wine Windows emulator, Google Picasa photo manager, Frostwire PRO file sharing client, Qcad autocad application, Bluefish and Quanta Plus HTML editors, Dvd::rip DVD ripper, Audacity audio editor, Isomaster ISO editor and many, many more.
