Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Update to NetHack 3.6.4 - fixes security issue with privilege escalation: http://nethack.org/security/index.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Thu Dec 19 2019 Ron Olson - 3.6.4-1 - Update to NetHack 3.6.4 * Mon Dec 9 2019 Ron Olson - 3.6.3-1 - Update to NetHack 3.6.3 * Tue Aug 13 2019 Ron Olson - 3.6.2-3 - Removed Group tag and clean section --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
