If there are people who don't know how to play it, well I will explain it here.
First you must have wine installed, you can find it in synaptic.
If wine is installed open up a terminal and write "winecfg" (without the quotes).
Then you will see a sort of M$ Windows menu and select there windows 95, so wine will act as Win 95.
The next thing to do is, put your disc in your dvd/cd drive and go to your cdrom station in a terminal. Here it is "/media/cdrom" (cd /media/cdrom)
Then do "wine setup.exe" and the installation will start. It will ask you something about directx, I didn't installed that. First I selected it to install the directx stuff but it didn't worked.
You can also install "westwood online" and "adobe acrobat reader" but that's not necessary.
After that's done. Go to "/.wine/drive_c/WESTWOOD/C&C95/" (it's normally in your home folder) and do that in your console.
The latest thing you have to do is write this: "wine C\&C95.EXE" (this is how I start it in the console and remember without qoutes and the cdrom needs to be placed in the drive).
If everything is working you can make a shortcut so that you can start it with a few clicks.
this is my short guide to play C&C.
