I just recently attempted installing Mandrake 8.0 on a box with Win 2k. The installation seemed to be proceeding fine but came to a halt after it did finished the serial port detection. Quesion: Can I install it along win2k? According to the install guide it runs with 95, 98, and Me, but doesn't mention NT or 2k......

You may find a lot of linux 'clones' for popular games
eg FreeCiv is like Civilisation

Also www.lokigames.com port a lot of your fav windows games to linux.
