Just found this: Civ II Evolution. It's an open project to develop a Civ with good AI, among other things. I oughtn't look at it too much now, but it is here.
There is an open source game that acts exactly like Civ 2 or 1 (but lots of options), except in all cases the board is square like Civ 1.
It's on the Debian Sparc CD, precompiled. It allows multiple players, AIs, many, many options, etc. Probably on most Debian disks (mine is 2.1).
It's broken into 2 parts, "civserver" and "civclient". I'll find out who made it tonight. The client is ugly, 16 colours only, and Athena widgets. You want to make it pretty... you know you do....:)
Once one knows vi well enough, one can be extremely fast with it. It takes time. Learning notepad is very fast, and when one is experienced with it, one is no faster then when one is not.
This way, many people will buy the video tape, because they want to own the movie, and will then buy it again, because they want to own the DVD. Thus we get two sales per customer.
Hey, I've got the music in LP and CD, so clearly this strategy works.
At some U. Waterloo residences the people are not allowed to have servers. But with static IPs and the total absence of any sort of firewall, the rule can easily be overlooked. (My residence does not dissallow servers, so I know I'm all right).
I would say that running a Linux server is "appropriate educational use", especially for anyone studing computers.

MS-notepad is easy to learn.
