Hi, What is the difference between wine and wineX? Is wineX /just/ for games, or can it do applications also? Because it looks like it has better support for games then wine, but I haven't seen anything as to applications that is supports. Is it possible to run both at the same time (wineX for my games, and wine for applications?) I only have one (of several) computers left that still runs windows, but I need it for several programs and, of course, games. I am chained to windows because I have programs such as: dreamweaverUltraDev4, flash5, visualStudio.net, photoshop6, and bryce5. I know most of these have a somewhat comparable cousin in Linux, but I have come accustom to these particular ones, and don't want to have to relearn new apps (or re-purchase their equivalents). Plus, some are going to have serious issues being ported over (like .net). Also, I need a gaming computer, so I need something that can run games pretty well, too. What is an inexpensive way to do this if Wine or WineX is not the way to go? I looked at VMWare, but almost 300 dollars is a little much with its current limitations, and no upgrade insurance. Hardware requirements (i.e. extra ram, hdd space, cpu power, etc.) are not an issue. thanks, jeric
