Apparently, the laptop was out of stock, so I'm getting a different laptop.
It has Vista on it (as far as I know), so the games may not work at all, since they're so old. But, I'll try one, anyways.
The main game is X-Wing Alliance. I may end up also installing Linux on the laptop, any suggestions on to which distro: KUbuntu, XUbuntu, Simply Mepis, Dream Linux, or Cent OS? I have all of those, plus the regular Ubuntu 8.04.
