I was using wine offered by transgaming. It took me what seemed like forever to get it working though. I had to change video and audio drivers numerious times to get it just right.


P.S. Transgaming support is non-existent, so don't expect any help there.
 
I've gotten close, I finally got my laptop to work with linux pretty well. I'm on it right now on wireless network (linux + wireless= almost non existant on linux).

I've gotten wine to get steam to install and update, but it goes to update and login but it fails because it cant find the mozilla stuff.
 
Actually, I've found that getting wireless to work isn't all that hard in Linux after you've done it a couple times. You can get most wireless things to work if you have the drivers (and use ndiswrapper) or if it's supported by madwifi. Anyway, my netgear card works out of the box in ubuntu (woot).
 
Okay, this is just a dumb plumber asking, but for all the grief you go through to try and and linux to work with the games why not just use windows and not have to worry... I mean I use windows 64 and even I have an easier time getting things to work then with linux (most software doesn't even support 64bit yet)
 
I like the concept of the whole world of free applications and free operating system, but I tried to install a Gui for Debian linux, and it didn't work...
So I could either learn how to debug and be a more advanced linux user before ever getting to use the OS, or keep windoze..
Maybe I'll try linux on another comp next year or something, but I got lotta school to get done
 
it is possible to dual-boot, i've done it before. I haven't used linux in quite a while, back when i did it was when red hat was just about the best out there... at least that i can recall....

Sounds like that was about 5 years ago. =)
