WineX 2.0

ZaMoose writes "Looks like Transgaming has released version 2.0 of WineX (with full support for Jedi Knight II and initial 3D sound support. Joy!) Prepackaged .debs and .rpms are available only to subscribers, but you can always just download and compile it yourself (you just won't get the nifty SafeDisk workarounds/InstallShield proprietary stuff)."

I hate to break it to you, but Windows already is the established player.

I used to hate windows just as much as the next /dotter. I find Windows 2000 to be rather stable, with a nice interface and good hardware integration (if not horribly secure).

Sure, someone could snooker me into hitting my back button and own my machine.

"Unix" comes in many flavors, as I am sure you know. Each dist has bugs of its own, and individual applications can bust really wide holes in the security if they are written poorly. It happens that some of the bundled applications (most especially IE) are shown to be insecure fairly often.

Should you run a webserver on it: No!
Should you play Fallout on it: Why not?

Open Source != Perfect code.
