party, poker stars and linux/linspire

[rybones]

I am in the process of building my own computer. I have had the opportunity to work with linux and the linspire operating systems and I really like them. Can I download and play party poker, poker stars or any other poker client with linspire?

Thanks for the advise,

Ryan

They're just too lazy to port it to another OS. I don't think they'll ever want to invest the time it would take to capture that small of a market segment. Some sites have already done it though: UultimateBet, PokerRoom, 24HPoker, and Hollywood Poker (source: Linux compatible online poker (http://www.pokerbunny.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=20) ) Enjoy!

You can run Stars through wine (http://www.winehq.org/), but read the application database entry (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2899) first.

I installed Party once a few months ago, but I wasn't able to log in with it. I tried running it again for this post, but, it isn't updater isn't downloading anything.
