Hi Trenton, The ESP games work fine under Windows Vista provided the DirectX VB libraries are installed in your c:\Windows\System32 directory.Most issues in Vista are solvable provided you install the necessary dependancies. As for running DirectX under Linux believe me it is not worth your time trying. You have to configure the Windows emulator, wine, copy several dll files from a Windows XP system, try and install DirectX, and hope when you are done you did everything correctly. Even if you get a successful emulation going for DirectX the games will run slow, and not perform nearly as well as on Windows because of the emulation layer. As for Lindows, AKA Linspired, it is true the os has a Linux core, but the graphical user interface is totally custom. That means no Linux or Windows accessibility software, such as a screen reader, will operate well in the Linspired environment. That was the case the last I checked, and the developers seamed less than interested in making there GUI accessible to the blind. As for Casino I'm assuming you are talking about Kitchensinc Casino. The only way you can realisticly move it to Linux without going through killing yourself by setting up emulation is to rewrite it in Python, Java, etc and then run it.
