Hi Norman,
As someone who tries to get everyone I help off Windows and onto Ubuntu,
I've had to come up with some unusual solutions. For most needs
excluding 3D graphics I'd recommend installing Windows 2000/XP on a
virtual machine. If you switch off system restore and automatic updates
in Win

To continue the saga, I introduced my granddaughter to Edubuntu this
evening and, after assuring her that I would keep windows for her games
etc., she asked me there and then to do it. Her machine is fairly old
and somewhat slow so I expect to be in for a long session.

Lots of excellent advice, thank you. To make things quite clear my

You've already mentioned the two ways of getting the Windows games to
work on linux.
More help could be given if we knew what programs that would be needed
to be shoe-horned into Ubuntu.
If your thinking of a PC, why not something like the ASUS Eee with
Edubuntu installed? I can imagine one scena
stick a copy of windows on it if she really needs to use it.
Regards,
Daniel
