Hmmm, yeah, Troy above you posted a link on how it got to work under
Gentoo. I use Fedora, wonder if it will work. They say all works but binary
posting cannot be done, what is your experience with it, Mike? What works,
what is broken, what distro, what version of wine (Anything special,
codeweavers?), you did this in a term while in gnome or KDE? I like to
putty into the machine with ssh or login at run level 3 but am not against
running startx, I have a decent gnome desktop, running Beryl 3D with a nice
nvidia card. What do you think, will it work, pointers, tips, screenshots,
URLs, and anything else that would help would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you Mike.
