SuSE (7.3, but also later versions) have DOSEMU. With 7.3 you have it in
"K" -> "System" -> "Emulator" -> xdos. Works out-of-the-box; the first
time you run it it will install a FreeDOS directory structure in ~/dosemu
(by default, it will ask you).

The Mandrake version hasn't been updated since Jan 2001 (DOSEMU 1.0.1) so
it's outdated.

Debian, Gentoo, PLD (a Polish distro) and ALT Linux (a Russian
distro) have DOSEMU too. Red Hat doesn't have it anymore. I don't know
about the others.

In any case it can be downloaded from www.dosemu.org. We have about 5000
downloads per month from dosemu.sourceforge.net (this is where
www.dosemu.org points to).
