[LUG] PlayOnLinux

[Rob Beard <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

Further to Terry's mention of World Of Warcraft on Linux, I came across 
this...

http://www.playonlinux.com

By the looks of it, PlayOnLinux is an easy to use application with a set 
of wizards which makes installing and using Windows games (and some 
other applications) easy.  It uses Wine and looking at the screen shots 
supports multiple versions of Wine (something which is handy as I've 
found some stuff works on one version of Wine better than others).

It has pretty good documentation on the site for creating scripts for 
unsupported applications (I say unsupported applications, basically 
applications which don't have an installation script rather than an 
application which is unsupported by Wine) and has reasonably good 
instructions on how to install (although it does involve opening a 
terminal and copying and pasting some commands in).

If anyone out there does have a killer Windows application they want to 
run on Linux, this may be worth having a look at.

Rob
