I was wondering if WOW was compatable with ubuntu?

edit: this thread was actually posted by my nephew, I will post his user name as soon as he gets home and makes one, he has gone to install ubuntu on his laptop now.

I hope this was not inappropriate!

Check in the Wine forum and do a search for World of Warcraft -- many threads should come up, including a how-to on getting it installed and configured.

Short answer -- it should work fine using Wine as long as you have a decent graphics card (nvidia or ATi).

An excellent point.

Ubuntu must recognize that you have a 3D graphics card. Otherwise, WINE will flip when trying to run.

At the worst, you can set aside a small partition for a Windows XP dual boot.

Thanks guys, that would be the only thing to stop me from switching to Linux. I really appreciate the speedy reply. Thanks so much.!!

edit: again, post made by my nephew, I have been dual booting for a whole month now.:lolflag:
