[cod] COD5 Linux using wine and CLI - My progress so far (not yet working)

[Christian Gerbrandt]

This is not going to work.
If you tunnel X11 to your local machine, you need to have it running all the
time.
As soon as you close the SSH session, all X11 applications will die.
Thats why you need to run it all from the server, preferable from some kind
of Windowmanger.
VNC should be sufficent for this.
Or use the method I expplained a little while ago by using NX server.

Yes, I've seen it, and ESX is not affordable for the minimal use it will 
run. Can anyone that has vmware installed try a comparison vmware vs 
wine ? I already have some servers running on the box, and resources 
need to be balanced between all of this...

By the way I will try to run just a x server through ssh, what will be a 
completely new challenge to me (CLI power for years now).
