Well, I got some new hardware (completely "new" Dell 270) and got kubuntu installed. Got Gimp and Wine installed as well.
My daughter, who this computer is for, plays WoW, but usually on her brother's computer, which is a Windows XP workstation. I asked her for the WoW CD so I could attempt to get it working under wine (I found some good howtos so wanted to see if it would work).
She told me flat out not to do that because Blizzard will ban your account, claiming you are cheating, using 3rd party applications (bots) if you run WoW on Linux.
I found a few old articles on this, but also found one where Blizzard unbanned the Cedega users (but nothing about wine).
Is this still the case? I don't want my daughter's account to get banned just because I'm curious and want to see if I can actually get this to work.
I don't play grpahics RPGs. I'm stuck happily MUDding.
Later,
Jon Moss
