wine users - May 2010 - Instructions for clean Install of Wine, EVE, and Ventrilo

I built this box and was looking forward to running eve on it.  2 weeks later
CCP dropped support for Linux and I haven't been able to get a decent
install yet.  I found some instructions last night that let me run eve in safe
mode, but if I tried adding Vent, it would crash.  Also, I can't get Vent to
run either.

Can somebody post a straight forward install so I can run this game as intended,
with Vent support.

UBUNTU Hardy 8.04
Kernel Linux 2.6.24-27-generic
GNOME 2.22.3

Memory 3.2 GiB

Processor 0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz
Processor 1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz
Processor 2: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz
Processor 3: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz

Avail Disk Space 517GiB

Wine 1.1.42

I'm not really a linux person, unless hating windows makes you one.

Thanks

No, it doesn't.

What graphics card do you have and what drivers are you using with it?

Installing EVE should simply be a case of running the installer,
grabbing the arial font, and then running the game.  This assumes you
have a good enough graphics card to run the game and the latest
drivers available for that card.

Sorry for the double post.

You may want to use the open source native alternative to Ventrilo as
it is fully compatible and runs really well.

I'm running EVGA GTX280, plenty of ram, should definately be able to handle
eve.

EVE voice is not solution as alliance/coalition sets comm channels to use.  I
will hunt for the open source alt and try it.
