Subject: Re: Linux plus World of Warcraft
I have a dual-boot setup with Linux and Windows because my family uses
Windows. I run WoW on both, and although it's considerably slower on Linux
through Cedega, it has never had any issues. I run the game on max settings
on Windows, and for Cedega I just turn everything down a notch or two.
