Indeed, it's a bit slow at times, even with a decent machine (Athlon XP
1800+, 768 MB ram, geforce 2 ti).  I *don't* advise moving to 2.6 yet,
because performance in starcraft is pretty much unplayable with
2.6/nptl.  2.4 works well enough to keep up in a battle.net game.

I believe that straight Wine will play StarCraft, although my copy isn't
here so I can't confirm...

You can try wine.  Or you can use winex-cvs but if you do that give them 
feedback (see the web site) on any problems (and let them know if it works).

There are some commerical alternatives such as VMWare.

vmware is not really an alternative since it still requires that you
own  and use Windows.

That's right.  I don't use it and forgot you need a copy of Windows to 
install in it.  Scratch that one.

It has been a while, but I do remember installing, and playing Starcraft
via wine.  It wasn't that hard to get up and running.  And, everything
seamed to work ok.
