its not a full substitute but for some it offers the same functionality as the 
official wine project. WineX is based on the wine source with DirectX support 
included. Some of the code is later offered back into the main branch for testing and 
incorporation. 

well that was from the transgaming site somewhere. if the application you are planning 
to run requires DirectX, you are better off with the transgaming source. if not, 
either the codeweavers (kinda old as they dont update much) or the winehq version 
might be your cup of tea. i heard that the winex got a new set of source...

ciao!

So is Transgaming's version a -full- substitute
for Wine, or is it only good for gaming?

applications in linux? This is a really good article I found:
