I've learned that Ryan was using version 0.9.32 of Wine, which he had downloaded from the official "CVS" repository where the newest developments are tracked.

Well, I heard once that AHI was compatible with Linux, not sure where it went incompatible. Yet who wants AHI with Linux when we could have AHII with linux?

Yes he's very excited. As I would be too. I personally share a dislike for windows as Peabody does. So I understand how he feels.

Right on! Time to look at turning my old box into a Linux rig dual boot just to see what happens for me.

Linux is good because it is a way modern system and much better working environment then Windows.

Argh.

Linux modern? LOL

And define better.

Just the fact that you are putting Wine on top of Linux probably on top of some GUI to run at some fraction of the speed what XP will run natively should tell you something.

And yes many Linux advocates do "hate" MS. Linux has its place, but it's not in Gaming.

What do you mean ... "purchased a new subscription to Cedega" ??
Maybe I've been out of the tech world for too long but what happened to open source, free, alternative to Microsoft greed ?

It's a commercial work based on open source. No company will waste resources on a product that they deliver for free. Even if they give it away for free now, once a critical position on the market is established, it will turn commercial.

I have been flying now for a couple of days using Slackware64, Slackware 11 and Suse 10.2.
Using Cedega 6.0 the games runs perfectly.
Only thing that didn't worked perfectly "out of the box" was that AH2 didn't recognice all of the buttons on my mouse. (quickely fixed with xmodmap).
The game recognized my Logitech Wingman Force 3d right away, even foce feedback works.
Playing in windowed mode I get 67-75 fps in 1200x1024 with a Gforce7300 GT.
The sound only works under ALSA, but that is standard in most distros.

Sys specs:
AMD64 3000+
1 GB RAM 533MHz
Gforce 7300GT

I was worried that the lastest patch might not work, but it does. I've had no trouble under PcLinuxOs with Cedega. The only imperfection is that I can't map one of the buttons on my Logitech Extreme 3dPro to serve as "shift", so... no "shifted" joystick buttons. I mapped some otherwise unused keys on my 10-key pad to compensate, and I ended up liking the results even better than before.... no "shift" functions actually makes the joystick more intuitive.

OK, AH2 works prefectly well with Cedega 6.0

System:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Vience Core,
MB: ABIT AN8 with nForce 3 chipset
RAM: 1GB
GPU: nVidia 6600 128MB
OS: Linux - Debian 4.0 Etch 64 bit.

I had just installed and Run. I even got 1 on-line kill

It runs about 50FPS on 1280x1024 screen and I had drops to 25 over town and in less heavy environment it goes to 70-80FPS.

So there is at least two excelent games that run on Linux:
1. AH 2
2. IL-2

P.S.: Skuzzy - If you cooperate with Transgaming and make sure AH works under cedega in future releases then you get:

- Linux users
- Intel Mac OS X users
