Wine is rather, crude. No offense to the Dev's of Wine, but there working with no documentation from Microsoft, hear say, hacked work rounds and reverse engineering. The fact Microsoft has a agreement with Novell (a major Linux player) means that just cross-platforms programs will become more and more reliable and possible. But doesn't help.
<br><br>Unfortunately, its not going to be easy to get a Linux build without the source code. <br><br>I would image enough time \ work would make it work on Linux, but at what cost is the main point. I mean, it crashing mid game, after a 'critical' update render's it useless. I doubt this sort of thing a GSP can do, maybe a home user this would be fine.
<br><br>I only hope is that its going to be like EA - BF2 such as 1.41 where EA made a Linux build then Multiplay ported it, rather successfully, I might add!<br><br>M<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/8/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

now. Linux servers have gotten the shaft from IW since day <br>
one. We've *never* gotten a linux server on release day from IW (or<br>
Gray Matter with UO).<br>
