Native Linux, yes. But WinEx has been refined to the point where most games designed only for Windows will run on it already. All MM has to do it take a little care in the development stage to test on WinEx and make some small changes where necessary and it will be at least possible to run it on Linux.

I emailed AH about the possibilities of porting se4 to linux, and he didn't seem too interested, and the libraries he used are only early alpha on linux, it wouldn't run very well, se4 runs perfectly under wine, haven't gotten around to starfury, anyone know which Version of directx it is based on? WineX still has serious(read: it doesn't work) problems with dx9, pixel shaders are the main culprit, but Versions before work perfectly, it depends on what AH writes it with, hell, I'd be willing to port it for free if he'd let me

You're having the bitmap problem with the ships not showing? Which Version of wine with which distro are you using?

Yes the ships bmp ~1/2 the time won't show up until I watch the movement log.

I had this problem initially, but I fixed it many, many months ago, can't remember how though, i'll look into, see what I can find.
