[plug] cedega ?

[Shannon Carver]

Like Evert said, Kudos to ID Games and Unreal Tournament creator (Epic??)
as well as the other producers making games with OpenGL (making the
wine/cedega process very easy), like World of Warcraft.

The first time I used Cedega was a few years ago (v2xx) and things were a
lot harder than they are now.  What used to be a lot of stuffing around with
manual edited config files and fake Windows, Windows/System, Program Files
directories is now a lot easier.

Just recently I installed Steam (HL2 and CS:S) as part of my Ubuntu & Gentoo
Installations.  On newer hardware, it really runs quite well, to the point I
can hardly tell the difference between playing in WinXP and Linux apart from
the loading times.  However these two games are fairly old now, I'm not sure
what it would be like if you attempted to play Prey or Fear or FarCry.
