accessable games.

No time for games. That doesn't mean there are no games on Linux. Games 
are part of any distribution since it's early days. The only two that I 
played with and still do it once or twice a year are GNU chess and 
Mahjong. It's possible to play chess in text mode. I do not know if it's 
possible to play any other game without graphics.

There are whole directories under /usr/games and /usr/share/games for
games. Some games are in other locations as well. Check it out.

Linux has a great tool for finding files. It runs a program slocate to 
build a database once a day, around 4 in the morning for Redhat I think. 
That database is accessible with command locate. For example:
locate games

produces a bunch of lines listing any directory and file name with string 
"games" in it. Then you go from there and look at the files directly to 
find the one you realy want.
