LinuxGames Gets an OverHaul

    And it doesn't even fit in smaller windows (about 800 x 600) properly.

If you need to align columns over the entire page just use style sheets, that's what they're for.

    On another note, several other people and I are in the planning stages of a port of Star Control 2 (otherwise known as the greatest game to have ever existed). We plan on just redoing the engine and using the data that you get when you buy the game (I'd say about 40% of the data formatting has been reverse-engineered). It's being discussed at http://www.cam.org/~lafranc/sc4board/ and a preliminary web page is at http://info3.tech.klte.hu/~mudry/fscp/ (which is often down) and mirrored at http://www.duke.edu/~ahc4
