Wine is an emulation mode. If you can use free software in its place then a lot of people using linux will choose that method rather than running an emulation mode. It is getting a lot closer but it will never be perfect. According to the notes recently on slug wine does not support directx so it probably will not support games very well. Talk to your game suppliers about supporting LInux directly! KenF -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
