Linux?
« on: November 15, 2001, 12:31:00 AM »
Well, this is a bit off-topic, but I couldn't find an on-topic forum   :D

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!
