I have seen an article on tomshardware.com that features gaming on Linux. In this there is a screenshot of a product called Cedega available from transgaming.org.
Cedega (formerly known as winex) is apparently a product that allows windows products to run on Linux, more specifically games. I looked through the list and to my astonishment I found the following two entries on the list ...
Has anyone tried this and managed to get it working relatively easily? I am no slouch when it comes to PCs and Linux, but I was never able to get it running. Having said that I never tried Cedega either.
Edit for spelling...

Galaxies is the ONLY reason i still have a windows pc in my house. Any way to rid myself of this MS crap foreveer has to be a bonus !!
I'll give it a go and let you know how i get on.

there was a huge HowTo guide for this about a month or two ago.. I wish I brought my other pc with me when I moved (my brother's holding it for me since I had to fly) because I -really- want to try it on Gentoo Linux..
do a search.. you'll be glad you did =)

Ive been playing for about 6 months, including JTL on linux exclusively. Ive never even owned a windows box. I started playing when transgaming added support for swg, as it was conviently coinciding with a 14 day free trial. After a few days of playing i was hooked and ive never looked back. If you start to play and have any specific problems/questions etc. please post or message me and ill do my best to help you out.
