Id like to make a full switch to Linux but it just isnt possible at the moment untill Wine is fully working.

Also check out this site, as it's an excellent wine[x] resource. __________________ "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so." ~Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Though various games do run natively under Linux (esp. the Unreal Tournament series). Praises be to those developers, and a pocks on all other game devs!

They've done a great job getting apps to run, and most of them flawlessly. __________________ Plans to Prosper thekiadriver on #linuxforums - fleetingly
