I meant a windows copy of Battle for Wesnoth. It is on the Open CD. A part of 
me definitely *wanted* to hold back and insist they run Linux to play the 
game, but that would have been against the spirit of the day and would have 
backfired. I'd rather people use FOSS under windoze than not use it at all.

BTW Paul, thanks for the tip on Thousand Parsec. I am going to be playing *so* 
many games this weekend.....
