Jason You are correct in that you can go to their cvs site and download the source. However, there are some bits left out (mainly their copyrighted bits) which is where the full blown program comes in. I used to pay for the software up until about two months ago (as I wasn't playing many games on linux there wasn't a need). However, since the new release of their software, I would like to see how it is now.
As for bringing your machine, please do. Watching this under linux would be good. Ben Moodel wrote: > Cedega is available for free I believe from their CVS.
