If you actually take the time to read the whole thread at linuxquestions you will see several interesting games mentioned for inclusion into the poll that were not added for voting. You need to take this sort of poll with a grain of salt... a grain the size of a dump truck. You can not make a strong statement using the result of this poll... all you can say is that a majority of people who felt like voting from within the community of registered linuxquestions users chose frozen-bubble out of the available poll choices. The poll choices were not a best-of-breed selection by any rational measure. The list of available poll choices has the quality of a slashdot poll... its a complete throw away poll. If you take this poll or the results of this poll seriously... you probably read theonion and consider it real news. There were only 764 people who voted in that category, I wouldn't exactly call that number representative of even the linuxquestions user community and i definitely wouldn't even begin to suggest that 764 people represent the open source community at large. -jef"goes back to playing trigger.. with one of today's randomly generated terrain maps"spaleta
