Steam help

[Improper Faction]

ok... so i finally broke away from the evil corporation of Microsoft and installed fedora core 5. the only problem is that i cant get steam to work. i downloaded and installed wine and then tried to install steam but it came up with some error after it said "updating steam"

Steam.exe(main exception): Win32 structuredException at 043DB127:
Attempt to read from virtual address 0 without appropriate access rights.

at first i thought it was because i wasn't in root, but then i tried it in root and the same error poped up.

someone please help me because i am very deprived of half life right now.

Thanks
