I just read this story. Looks like the latest version of Wine is making it possible to play WoW under Linux. Has anyone here tried this out yet using Hoary? I thought I might give it a shot this weekend.
I'm new to all of this and haven't really used Wine. If I already have WoW installed in a Windows partition do I need to install it under Linux or can I just run 'wine [path to wow .exe] --opengl' ? It isn't horrible to reboot the computer in order to play WoW but it would be nice to just be able to launch and play the game from within Ubuntu.
