Running DOS Programs on Linux: Duke Nukem Lives!
If I play video games they're usually pretty low tech ones. One of the few games I miss from the old days is Duke Nukem, and I'm talking about the Duke before he went 3D. If you have an old DOS game that you'd like to run, or for that matter any old DOS program, check out DOSBox. Even if you don't have any DOS programs that you'd like to run, you might want to try downloading some of the old DOS games that are now available free online.
DOSBox is a DOS emulator that runs under Linux as well as OS X and Windows. DOSBox is fairly easy to use, if it's not included in your distro's repo (openSuSE has it), download it here. Once it's installed just type dosbox. When the DOSBox window appears the first thing you have to do is mount the directory that contains your DOS program as a DOS drive. You do this by typing a mount command in the DOSBox window.
