karx11erx is correct.
I have tried both of them on various Mandrake/Mandriva
versions.
D1x Linux works well. My daughter & I have played
many coop games using it... what a blast!

D2x Linux is barely usable for me.

I've been having a great time with D2x-xl on Linux.

I know we've butted heads in the past, but I'm dying for you to get
the Descendarium back up. =)

Downloadable binaries of D2X are heavily outdated I admit.
But current CVS is fine! No version numbering here
which might confuse Moon ;-)

We're using this for a very long time now:
