of most are X-Com (original), Pirates Gold and Wingcommander Privateer.

DOSemu, the DOS emulator, contains a pretty complete implementation of the

This has me thinking (a dangerous thing indeed). I still love some of the
older DOS / Win 3.x games. In the next couple weeks I hope to find time to
load up gnome on my Debian box (I've only run command line linux so far),
and would love to put some of those games

I think he was referring to game emulators, not OS/HW emulators.

I still fondly remember playing space war on the console

played on a chain printer.
A the good old days. I remember programming a mainframe to do some basic
space navigation (simple landing problem) via FORTRAN and punchards (that was
a fun computer class - 1 day turnaround minimum on a run)

Heh heh heh. A friend and I spent several days downloading Doom over 2400
BPS modems when it came out.

Slight correction to both Randy and my earlier post - KDE2 used to be in Woody

If you want to try out Debian, but don't want to brave the install,
check out Storm Linux. It's Debian with a slick installer. After the
install, just change your apt-sources

Ben isn't jazzed. :-)
Seriously, the install isn't that bad -- as long as you don't expect to
have everything working perfectly in an hour or so. Debian requires some

They've solved the KDE/Debian issue (the legality of distributing KDE (GPL)
and QT (QPL) together, since there we license conflicts, not because QT was
not open-source). KDE 2 is in unstable now, so it will be in the next stable.
Someone's got the KDE stuff for potato, outside of Debian.
I'd try Debian, but have not found one with KDE2.

I'm kind of intrigued by Slackware, and wondered if folks might have some

I have used SuSE for a couple of years and prefer it to the others. There
are several similarities to Tru64 Unix which is what I work on at work.

I've used several different distributions (Yggdrasil, Slackware,
Caldera, TurboLinux, RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, Suse come to mind). Which

For the last year I have been working on making custom distros; at work I
