Re: Space Empires with Wine
Wine and SEIV do not mix. I always loose when I try that. If you are going to make sure it is a "blood red" wine.
Seriously,
I may now have a reason to run a Linux box. Cool. I love to not use Micro$ponge when I can.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
It might not have been Wine then, but I do know Microshaft shutdown a program company that was making a Version of Linux to be user friendly.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
I think you are reffereing to "LinDos" or something. I thought it was still in court? No?

Re: Space Empires with Wine
WinE is a (Open Source, IIRC) Windows emulator for Linux. Lindows is a commercial OS that supposedly can run both Windows and Linux programs. Microsoft sued the company that makes Lindows for trademark infringement; I think the case is still wending its way through the appeals courts, but I haven't followed it closely.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Ehh, well, if Lindows dies, it'll be no big loss IMHO. I tried the first Version of their OS, and it drove me nuts. Almost as bad as windows was. You have to purchase a special computer with it preinstalled, or pay money for the operating system itself. And then you have to purchase a subsription to download all the specialy packed packages (Lindows didn't have support for rpm's or the make/gcc compilers to install anything) that make Linux Linux. Probably the only time you'll see me cheering on Micro$oft.
By the way, I'm still open to suggestions for tweaks for wine and/or wineX in running Space Empires.
And by the by, does SE III run any better?

Re: Space Empires with Wine
