Hi Dirk,

I know that problem and wine won't help, thus I will install a naked W98
or XP for the couple of games I like to play. I tried some of the linux
games when I was bored over christmas but I didn't manage to get them
running (torcs & racer). 

Anyway... I am just a 'normal' user not a pro and thus I will reduce
Windows to my personal playstation.

Alex

PS: There are more and more games coming out for Linux but I want only
my old Need for Speed III and V running so if there is a possibility
under Linux, I am happy to try it ;)
