WineX Install Goes Sour for LinuxWorld Editor

Posted by simoniker on from the crying-all-the-way-home dept.

jg21 writes "LinuxWorld's gaming industry editor apparently grappled with TransGaming's latest WineX release, now renamed Cedega 4.0, to such an extent that she "lost" half a day of her life. A trip to the Dark Age of Camelot site for a 7-day free trial ended in tears and installing Diablo II didn't go much better. Dee-Ann LeBlanc may have coedited Linux for Dummies, but she suffered more black screens than a multiplex during a power outage. Is the problem simply that she uses Fedora Core 2 - can't someone help her out?" Are these one-off problems, or symptomatic of a bigger issue?

    How crap Fedora is.. Everything on that version of Linux uses some sort of "we thought of it first" hacks.

    Some may call it innovative..

    Some say its easy to fix..

    But you'd be guaranteed not to waste your time using Windows when needing the same quik-fix.

    Go ahead, downmod me.. Speaking with decent business sence, its the truth.
