-   I just installed my first linux installation on a fresh hard drive. Installation was quick and easy, but i am unable to play my windows-based games. I want to know how to set up a second operation system so that i can chose which one to use when i power up. Or is there a windows emulator i can download so i can play my favorite blizzard games? Can you help?

Linux newbie/Blizzard gamer

-   You can install 'wine' (it is on the CDs, use 'rpmdrake' to install it), and
try to play some games (it doesn't work with everything - see
http://www.winehq.org ).

To install two OSs, your best bet is to start fresh, install Windows first,
and leave 'freespace' at the end of the drive, enough room for a Linux
install. After you have Windows installed, install Linux, and it will setup
a bootloader to allow you to switch at boot.
