Retro Gaming and the Wonders of Debian Sarge (2005)

2025-09-16

The author installed Debian Sarge from 2005 on an old single-core Pentium system with an SSD and fiber connection. The article details experiences with Gnome 2.8, pre-installed software (early Firefox, GIMP, Blender, etc.), and incompatibilities with modern systems, such as outdated SSL and limited video codec support. Despite challenges, the author successfully ran games like TuxKart, finding the experience a nostalgic trip back in time.
