I've bought my 12 yr old son a used laptop (Dell Latitude D600) and convinced him to use a version of linux unstead of Windows. The laptop came with PCLinuxOS release 2007.

I'm experimenting with Wine under Kubuntu Hardy Heron, on a former Vista laptop (boy, does it run noticeably faster on Linux).

Before trying to install any of the games, I tried out three applications that I find useful, Orbitron, Country Codes and

not sure if its just me or anyone else noticed this... but mouse control in games is basically impossible now in 1.3.15. like holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse to move a character direction just barely moves or jumps, or just stops moving, or then spins around... its horrid. 1.3.14 and earlier are still working fine without that problem.
