Go to the transgaming website and register (pay $5.00) and vote for a game to support and also download the WineX rpm. I voted for Halo, even though it isn't out yet (soon) and wont be available for PCs until late next year (it is initially intended for the Xcrotch windoze thingy.
Anyway, I suspect that it is going to be the major game next year unless someone has an unsuspected rabbit up their sleeve. Anyway, I downloaded winex and installed it and couldn't get it to work. Codeweavers wine is, by FAR the easiest and cleanest wine installation available. The winex system installs a .transgaming directory in your home directory and gives you an apparently broken config file to go with it. It creates a c_win directory under the .transgaming directory which is set to be the "windows" directory for winex. It contains some winex dlls. It doesn't appear to work as installed. All I get is a message that C:\windows couldn't be opened. Hah! It is the .transgaming/windows directory created by winex with ownership and perms correct for the home directory/user yet it isn't accessible to winex (?!) I tried editing it a bit but nothing worked. I am going to try one more time and give it the CORRECT config file that codeweaver produces. Hopefully that will fix its brokenness.
