Gaming in Linux part 1 - with Cedega

I suggest you get a NVIDIA-Card for Linux. More stable, better drivers and much faster!
The ATI-FGLRX-Drivers are crap. (Sorry for the word, but it is the truth.)

Yes, that only means that the Windowsgames under WINE work native with an own small Windowskompatible Kernel, that is not from Microsoft.

I just found out that Wine stands for "Wine is Not an Emulator" lo xD

Likely you could use wine buuuut. If you want you can seamlessly run windows INSIDE linux. And I mean on your taskbar you will simply see windows aps as a different colour. Perfect integration when you use vmware or the like to install windows on the same machine. Sure it isn't linux on its own but if you are looking into switching over it works fine.

no way

man you don't know how wine works,you could say it 10 times but it does emulate too,if it doesn't emulate hardware it doesn't mean it's not emulating,the word,the fucking term is not limited to that

Wine doesnt emulate the games. It translates the windows language to Linux so that Ubuntu and other linux based OS's can play the games.

i would game on my linux pc but whenever i install the driver for my graphics gard...the colors get screwed up...negative colors basically....so every time i have to uninstall it..i havnt screwed around with it too much so i might just have to do that

I think u tried to install ATi Drivers on Ubuntu 9.xx. Try Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and u'll see that u can install the drivers and all will be ok.

You're wrong. An emulator would emulate the entire x86 cpu (opcodes, modes, mmu...), like the VICE emulator does for the Commodore 64. But Wine is only a way to load the windows executable (in PE format) in linux, then letting it work like a normal Linux app. The "translation" is only provide the correct DLLs patched in a way that if the Win app calls a DLL function (for ex. Open() ), the modded DLL would call the proper Linux function to get the operation done. I hope it's clear. :D
