Some of us are just lucky <G>. I gave up ATI after the Mach 64! Unfortunately, we all can't just go out and upgrade - I know that for sure!
Thank you for the excellent summary - this will be filed away and when I find time I'll go visit these sites. I did use Wine and Winex considerably about a year ago - I was doing CVS from TG (wrote a Gentoo ebuild) and giving them feedback and I did a bunch with Wine CVS on Gentoo - ebuild there, too and bugs to Wine bugs <G>. I used the wine apps db but as you said it was pretty much dead; used Frank's Corner, too. I had Half-Life and Soldier of Fortune running and was working on SOF II and then due to time (Work, family, and solving a problem on my main Linux box that has been haunting me for a couple of years) I had to stop working on it so I've been out of it for a while. For me Wine is about running everything I can under Linux so I can decrease my use of Windows - I will still have to have Windows for the InstallShield programming I do and for MS Flight Simulator since I beta test that but I'd love to have everything else on Linux. I use OpenOffice so running of! fice on Linux is not a consideration. Same with IE - I avoid it on Windows so I sure don't need it on LInux <G>.. After trying TG and Wine I decided I would use Wine first above all else and not use TG. I'd see if I could get the apps working in Wine and submit bugs as I found them. Now there's Cedega but I really don't want to pay for anything and I'd like to support Wine first.. I've been lurking on the list. and it's good to see the advances like the appdb coming back and a Wiki. My question on getting games was due to frustration and excitement - I wanted to buy Linux native games but every link I found went to Loki who was dead and gone. The recent post got me excited that some ports were being done for Linux and I'd much rather by them. I've seen some of the games in portage but some require you have a Windows CD or the paks for the game. I've also got some old games like Silent Service I want to get running again.
