Well, this is a bit off-topic, but I couldn't find an on-topic forum

Are there any plans at all for a Linux client?
I for one would be ecstatic to see one!
As a linux developer I'd volunteer to help in any way (coding, testing, etc.)...

Anyone else??

No, thats something on my todo list

Problem is that Transgaming only provides WineX binaries to people who pay, so to try it out for free I need to pull it from CVS and rebuild. (Which I'm sure is not very pleasant..)
But I'll try and post results here.

I posted in the hardware/software forum about transgaming but didn't get any replies. Has anyone tried trangaming ?
I do know that in trying with an older version of a wine build that you had to have AH on a dos partition. It screams if you put it on a linux partition.

I need to email transgaming about sending them a check for the min. amount ($15) for a 3 month transgaming account. I do wanna try WineX out to see how many of my games will play as several older games played well with Wine before.

Beware the penguin!
