From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It was okayish...I remember playing ultima 9 for some time with early wine versions. You had to deal with some glitches (ultima9 for example showed the mouse cursor below the bag what made selecting items interesting ;)) but even that not for all games. Diablo 2 was flawless for example (just not my type of game)..so was master of orion 3...
Was also nice to have for some simple windows gui apps....I think the first time I tried wine was for winrar to open a password protected file I couldn't get to work otherwise.
edit: corrected sentence I started differently than I finished it ;)
Oof, I can imagine the disappointment
hahaha...well, I for sure played it longer than ultima 8..nothing can be worse than that game!
The platforming, OH GOD the platforming! Only good thing about Ultima 8 is spoony's review, it's wonderful :)
