Umm, better yet why not just run WINE and Transgaming's WineX...


[link|http://www.winehq.com/|Wine Development HQ], a free implementation of Windows for Unix. Very good. Runs MSO-2K easily, I have gotten GroupWise and Novell's Console one and NWadmin32 to run (heck even IE5.5 with some things broken). Of course this is getting deep into it and gettin authentication and such to work has been a bear... but does work.


[link|http://www.transgaming.com/|TransGaming Technologies' WineX], run Windows games on Linux, seamlessly and transparently, right out of the box.(right off the front page)


A few tips, keep VMWARE around for running Windows apps you cannot get running in WINE... just 4GB chunk of Cheap Disk space all you need. Heck you could gzip it when you dun need it.


Also get 2.4.12+ kernel and things tend to run much better (new VM and all), plus at 2.4.16 (actually .15 but that is another problem to talk about) we get the proper "OOM Killer" back and the new VM too. If you compile it right you can get NATIVE 802.1Q VLAN support that actually works with most NICs (few exceptions that are known, steer clear of 'em).

Run games that run in Linux "in Linux" and the "Windoze" ones under Wine and WineX. Alot of games really do work, alot!!! See [link|http://www.transgaming.com/dosearch.php?order=working&showall=1| this link].

Nuff from me the peanut gallery again.
