Thanks for the hint Donald! First I tried the stable version of
Wine(1.0.1) without any luck(segmentation faults). Today I downloaded
the beta 1.1.10 version and guess.... it is working! Less CPU power then
my other COD5 server in Vmware. The Wine server costs 4% CPU power
against 25 % for the Vmware server. The COD5 console is running in a
VNC4server configuration with Xfce4 as windowsmanager(the Wine COD5
server is online at cod.blutch.nl:28961 or www.blutch.nl so if you
like you can try it)
