question about running windows apps on linux
hnugz:
There are windows emulators out there for linux correct? I mean, the main reason I use windows is so I can play my games. What can I do to run these games on linux? Or any windows app for that matter. I'm running mandrake 9 if that makes a difference.

WINE is meant to be alright but for DirectX stuff use WineX, also ive heard some programs run better on VMWare.

If I downloaded WINE from http://winehq.org/download/ as a binary and then compiled the source did it come with WINEX? I have been trying to get Half Life to run but when I start a game it has just a black screen. I used the Linux Half Life instructions that I found on a site that I cannot remember at the moment and it said nothing about a "WINEX"

no WineX doesnt come with Wine, u can get winex from cvs from Transgaming
