yotta: Nods, like I said before, don't like messing with wine
I tried using vmware for a little bit, but was too much of a hassle. I know about the UT linux version, I just don't have a copy, and I am not really sure how well that would play.
as sad as this may sound, but Windows seriously rules Linux for 3d acceleration. This is mainly due to Windows drivers being much more effective... If only the hardware manufactures could release the technical data so Open Source can reign
