Mandrake Gaming is a 3-cd set with The Sims (one CD), the system (One CD),
and Commercial apps CD from Standard edition. Unlike the regular fodder,
this one has a CD Serial number, because it is distributing licensed,
proprietary games.

You can get the same effect, without the Sims, by installing Mandrake 8.1 and
downloading and compiling the source for WineX from transgaming. The binary
though is not a free distribution, not even free as in beer.
