I like to play an occasional game of dota, the famous Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne mod, with my friends. It works perfectly with wine since I can remember (so, probably feisty). You don’t even have to install it using wine, just launch your windows installation and your fine. In fact, I kept my initial Warcraft III installation all the time in my ~/.wine directory and never had any problems.

Over my Christmas break, I decided to try out the latest version of Wine with my most frequently used Windows application, which is called World of Warcraft (or WoW).

Over my Christmas break I decided to try out the latest version of Wine with my most frequently used Windows application which is called World of Warcraft or WoW. Just so that its clear that I am not antisocial this didnt take away much time spending with friends and family as it actually took me less than an hour to do the whole thing.

The last Wine review I made was to 1.0RC2 (release candidate 2), in which I already tested World of WarCraft, mIRC and DC++. I had no issues with World of WarCraft (tested using a trial account) which performs very well, without any visible problems, DC++ has minor stability problems and the mIRC scripts editor crashes, but otherwise, mIRC behaves good enough.

As the title says I'm going to talk about some of the differences between all of the above. WINE is basically a windows emulator for Linux operating systems. WINE allows you to run some applications on Linux that does not have Linux support or installers ie: Office 2007, World of Warcraft and many others. This is not a how-to but more a idea of what is going around and what its all about.

Over the past 2 years I've been getting into Linux more and more. After getting over my initial fear to move away from Windows, I realized in order for me to stay away from M$'s OS I would need to get my favorite applications to run in Linux. That's where Wine comes in.

This is a guide for running the Windows version of Civilization IV (no expansion packs) on Linux using Wine. I've written guides on this twice before, but recently I wanted to play and found that my previous instructions were out of date again. Since I last played with Wine 0.9.44, the graphical glitches have been fixed and the game's disk DRM works without a no-CD crack.
