Guys That said, I could install the Steam Client onto my Ubuntu v71.0 install and download the software (Counter Strike, Counter Strike: Source, etc, etc) and have this running under Wine. I did manage to get this running under a previous install of Ubuntu so it would be interesting to see if I can get this working again. However, I would need to do all the work prior to meeting due to the size of the installation as the software is downloaded from the internet and will take a while to install. But this is the first time I have gotten an game to run under Wine instead of Cedega.

My company is holding a gaming event this weekend (www.more-lan.co.uk). Since we have Steam tournament licences for the weekend that will likely be the focus, and my personal efforts to get Steam's weird and wonderful client running under Wine have failed miserably[*] (although others have had more success). Which means that although there's nothing in principle excluding Linux users in practise it will be Windows biased. (For the great unwashed, which includes me, Steam means Counter Strike, Half Life, Team Fortress, etc.) If there is any interest, I reckon a Frozen Bubble server could be in order though :-) [*] The effort I put into this is limited by the fact that I have very little interest in playing the games, it was more a technical challenge and I got bored! -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
