the problem with Wine as I see it is that it isn't an emulator and support for different applications is patchy. I bought Vmware a year ago and it works brilliantly. Anything that will run under the virtual machines installed operating system will install and function. > there any linux gamers out there who can attest to easy of use and > usability of WineX for playing games? If the game is the least bit resource intensive forget using wine for games, or vmware for that matter. Run the game natively in linux. It's much easier than you think these days. Alternatively boot natively into your game OS. -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
