That sounds good...

Yeah, I heard about that dilemma as winex was planned to be debianized. Very
sad, but I don't play games very often anyway. I got used to Linux and really
like it, but there are some windows apps which really don't have a reasonable
alternative (e.g almost every app related to music production) and I hate
those reboots just because I have to do a 2 min job with a win app. That's
why I thought of trying to use wine. Hope it will run my apps.
Just a last question - because you made me curious - have you brought every
windows game to run with WineX? Or did some tests fail?

Christian
