As many readers already know, Corel has helped the community on a huge scale, providing the Linux world with versions of Corel Draw and Corel WordPerfect. It's sad to see this, especially with the amount of work that Corel has put into Wine and their other projects, which include add-ons to KDE." Guess I can retire this topic icon ;)

    Has anyone had success in running TFC (The Half Life mod) in linux using wine? I've been able to load Half Life, but can't get TFC to work.

    1. As you say, it's on topic since it refers to something that was said in the story
    2. The icon really has changed

    I hope they didn't pay a lot of money for that logo. Blech.
