I could not get winex to compile on FC1.  Mind you, I did not
investigate it much but when configured for the machine wine seems to be
so-so OK.  That is, Windows games run but seem to need a LOT more
horsepower.  My kids now have 650Mhz FC1 boxes that don't seem to have
enough power to run Half-Life under wine (hl's requirements are
something like a 133Mhz in Windows and it runs with no problems on my
Win98 400Mhz box).  Now, I should add that they only have 8M graphics
memory (SIS) but the results are still disapointing (more to them than
to me :-)

On a 2000+ Athlon box with a PCI Nvidia card and FC1 the performance of
hl is fine.  UT and Q3 is good but UT2 is sluggish on large maps.

Kind regards,

Mike

P.S. The Athlon box is dual boot to Win98 and UT2 would not install
under Win98 (installer crashes)  their support tells me to make sure the
machine meets the requirements or some such. Hah ! Go Linux!
