[Luther Goh Lu Feng <elfgoh@xxxxxxxxx>]

A quick thought, a friend long ago requested that card games not be added to my remaster of knoppix, as there is some link to gambling. His religion is against gambling. It probably is not a big deal for many of us. But I think it wouldn't hurt to leave out card games.
