Hyvry1_delta,
there are two places you can get winex. The first place is at http://www003.portalis.it/115/
It is free here but they recommend that you use Mandrake distribution of Linux. Don't know why.

The second place is at www.transgaming.com but they will charge you money, but they do provide support.

Thanks.

I have access to Suse, Redhat and open linux right now. They are all in my dad's office. Open linux is like dos. Command line and everything. It is good for servers but nothing else really. I can not decide between using Suse or Redhat. I have used Redhat before. Also which should i use KDE or GNOME? I don't know which winex will work best with. Also is there any ATi Radeon drivers i can get hold of for Linux? Cat 4.1 equilivant would be good, but any others would be ok.

-Edit:sorry i just read the link. It says KDE.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

Mandrake is based on the RedHat distribution, so I would suggest using RedHat. If you have a fast internet connection, why not just download the Mandrake disks. I know for a fact that it works fine.

WineX should work fine with any graphical interface that comes with the installation disks. I read somewhere that KDE is slower and uses a bit more resources than some of the others (but it works fine) and that WindowMaker was a better one to use. I used both and saw no significant difference.

Last time I checked, ATI had a set of Radeon drivers for Linux. When I installed Mandrake, it went nuts on me because it didn't like my Radeon until I installed the dirvers from the ATI web site. The latest version they had was 3.7 but it worked fine. The setting up of the drivers is all command line. Just read the README file that comes with the zip from the ATI site.

Be warned, it isn't trivial the first time you install the dirvers. Angry

Good luck. And I mean it. Grin

There is a link on the site that takes you to a redhat version of winex i will try that. I will also get those drivers for linux.

Hey guys/gals,

sorry i have'nt replied for ages but i had a major accident and was in a coma for 3 months!

Anyways, i spoke to my dad about what he did to my system and he claims he can't remember Sad

Although signs were good at first i have since had BIG f**king problems and therefore have terminated my Linux experiment.

If anyone else has got it working - good luck and hope you don't have any probs. It might be a while before I post again as my computer got destroyed in the accident.

Thanx. Carl
