Hi, I am apprehensive about buying the Windows 7 for my new desktop PC ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig_b41uOQCg ) and pay more than 100 euros for it. I don't have enough money before I get the student loans after New Year 2012, and I was wondering if I could get Linux somewhere today or before Christmas holidays. Before I decide, tell me, can I play any Win7 game I like on Linux, by

I have just read from Phoronix that Gallium is going to support native directx on Linux. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mesa_gallium3d_d3d11&num=1 Is it really possible? Is this true?

In this forum post : http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=9260 , it has been suggested that we test DX10 games and that we report issues. However, with only about 5% of the entire implementation done, we can expect a lot of things to not work properly. Hence, I was wondering how would it be best to proceed with reporting. Is it recommended to test with winetricks d3dx10, or clean wine? What

Hi. We just opened a gaming center and have chosen to run a FreeBsd box for our firewall. IPFW is configured at it's very basic running natd through rl0 and allowing any to any connections from the lan to the outer world. Natd controls access to the lan. We have a 6.0 mb/s ADSL net connection for all the gaming clients to use, however if a gamer starts downloading a file, that file

Can anyone tell me or point me to information telling me what is the correct way to use directx 10 or 11 for games in Wine, what do I need to install to do so, and do I then need to use a special tag (like the -opengl tag) when starting a game? I have been googling and having a hard time making sense of the information I have been finding. Some places reference a 'wine dx10' and some

I am new to wine and would like some tips on what a good graphics card for gaming on wine would be. I don't play the latest on greatest by any means but my current card (x1950 Pro) won't even run HL 2 (I assume because of the crap drivers). I am looking for a cheap switch/upgrade. I am been looking at this

I have a copy of the Sims installed on a Win2k FAT32 partition. I know for a fact that The Sims works under Wine (Mandrake's "Gamer" edition), but I get an error when I try to run it. The error is as follows: "Game cannot be started because: There is not enough memory or hard drive space to run. Exit now." I do have plenty of free space and plenty of memory. Does

If this is off subject or has already been addressed, sorry. "Windows Genuine Advantage" looks like a move to make wine worthless. What I mean is that M$ development API pushes windows developers' applications to require you install IE 6.0 (soon 7.0) or later, making IE a key part of wine. If IE requires Genuine MicroSoft (Windows Genuine Advantage) to install, then most if not all

Hello. I am an avid gamer and someone who always wants to go full Linux, but I always end up booting into Windows more than I want just to game. I am currently only playing WoW which I know runs flawlessly in WINE so I decided to swap back over. Everything was working fine and I decided to do a reinstall of Ubuntu going from 10.04 to 10.10, so I did a full format and reinstall. I just run WoW

Good day to the parliament of RedCloth followers gathered here. Grave matters at hand!! I''m personally quite unhappy with the state of RedCloth and am reluctant to release the code in the repository. I can''t say if the code works with any confidence because I can''t generate the (Poignant) Guide with the current RedCloth. I know some things are fixed, but I''m
