Stopped in a ferry terminal and saw this bowling game.

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Might be a BSD also? But why are you showing this, I thought we agreed we would only post bluescreens from public screens from that "other" operating system :lol:

Some proprietors in order to save money do use Linux servers
--but, one would expect most arcades to use their own systems, if it is Linux OK, otherwise the arcade game you want to play is the most important issue for users..

I've seen Linux servers and thin clients being used in some coffee shop free Internet computers
--that has changed since free wifi (open wireless hotspots), and many people walking around with netbooks or notebooks..
