You can do this using dosbox http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/

so that is the DOS box right? so i can now just download the normal qb and run it in there??

yup....pretty much as simple as that..under linux you might have to create a folder to serve as your drive (but I'm not sure about that) once QB is there you should be able to run it as any other DOS programs
