Is there anywhere I should look to find a free WinX download. I don't want to pay for it on WinX.com and even if I did I don't have a credit card.

You can download the CVS version for free. Anything else is not strictly legal. |

I'd like to see some MMORPGs ported to Linux! 
I'm not sure about the feasability of this though, surely such software has a complex network element to it.
I'd expect to pay the same price as the Windows version, of course! |

I thought I'd post a list of games that HAVE a native linux version, some of them were even requested, lol. Here are the ones I know of
Simcity 3000
Railroad Tycoon 2
Soldier of Fortune
Myth 2: Soulbringer
Heroes of Might & Magic 3
Doom, Quake 1,2 , Quake 3 Arena
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament 2003
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Alpha Centauri & Alien Crossfire (for those CIV type fans)
Uplink
Heavy Gear 2
And the game I'd like to see ported would be the original first DOS game called
Settlers
I can get it to run in bochs, but because of lacking vbe support only in 320x200, ugh
cheers

The problem is that all those don't emulate a full VESA compliant video card (afaik).
Hence resolutions such as 640x480 & higher are not supported.
I even played it on the UAE, but that limits the resolution as well.
Thanks though
