If anyone can find this please let me know, it would
be a nice gag to play on my M$ loving pals <g>.

I've been beta-testing the Linux version of
Civilization: Call to Power from Loki Entertainment
Software and I'm really impressed.  I've been a Civ
addict since it's debut in what 1991 - 1192?  Freeciv
is pretty good but not as good as the real thing. 
Maybe if it sells well enough, LokiSoft will be able
to port more things over.  The SDL (Simple Directmedia
Layer) that it runs on looks promising for game
development and there are some other tools available
too.  Oh, BTW it dropped right in to Debian with a
couple of .deb libraries and the SDL in /local - easy
install.
