So my windows machine has been freaking out lately. So I decided to try to install Empire Poker on my linux box running Slackware 10.1. I downloaded and installed the latest version of wine. HERE (http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=760) & Empire poker.

I installed the linux package.


<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> bash-3.00# installpkg Wine-20050725-i486-S10.1-nodebug.tgz </pre><hr />

And installed Empire poker using wine:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> bash-3.00# wine EmpirePokerSetup.exe </pre><hr />

Some things don't work just right and it complains a bit ( about not having IE ), but it worked just fine. I played a couple of hands and won a little money.

If there is interest I'll take some screen shots.

I'm amazed. I really thought VMWare would be necessary.

I get an error when trying to run poker tracker. It's probably due to the Access database.

Nice! I have Paradise running great under Wine, although I did have to change some of the default graphics and sound settings. Never tried any others because Poker Tracker never worked. I wonder if it would now with PostgreSQL?

PA HUD prolly wouldn't jive either, and I can't give up that. Dual-boot for me...

Sweet, if only someone could get PT to work.

I long for the day I get rid of windows.

I confirm that Eurobet also runs on wine. I'm running the latest version of wine on Debian Sarge, and although there are some errors, it does run correctly.

In addition to the errors the OP posted, I was unable to open multiple tables. In fact, once the first table was opened, and the Lobby was minimized, I was unable to get back to the lobby ever.

Additionally, the text on the table for chip count seemed a bit skewed, but still readable.
