mm I am using VirtualBox for Starcraft and it works pretty well.

1. Open terminal
2. Type "VBoxSDL --startvm WinXP" the third para is the name of your virtual machine.
3. Press right ctrl + f (host key + f) for full screen mode.
4. and play...

Hm. I see there has been some time since anyone wrote anything in here so sorry if the bump seems unnecessary. But does AH and starcraft work smoothly in linux? (im on 1 archlinux + gnome, 1 ubuntu)

I couldn't get BW to run smoothly in Linux :/ Dunno what I need to do differently but I'd much rather be able to play it on my Ubuntu installation.

A hardcore gamer will never use linsux or OSX for that matter though...
It works just fine in Windows7 64bit.

I play SCBW on linux and it works perfectly fine using wine. I play on LAN and on ICCup, and the game runs flawlessly, but since I use a safe distro as Debian I never have the latest software, and due to that the AH launcher doesn't work. That made me install a virtual machine with win xP in my virtualbox, which I use to play online.
What's a quote anyway?

Um i am using it? and im a hardcore gamer
AND I LOVE IT! will never go back to Windows :D Cuz i dont want any windows in my HOUSE!
So yea Why not linux for a hardcore gamer? most games run more smoothly than windows really,
And Wow works on linux out of the box Even better than Windows

Just for you guys who might want to try linux but not sure you can just
Download it to a Cd and use it as live cd and try without installing it.
Or just simply Install it on a partition (I run fulltime)
Just keep in mind that There is like "NO VIRUSES" for it (Tell me about someone who had got a virus on it that dosent work for Microsoft haha)
Dosent defrag ( Will not slow down after some weeks / Months)
Free/Opensource (Do whatever you want with it Go in to the System and Mess somethings up and just make your own operative system on any other if you want) (Opensource = No company owns it, So yea You kinda own it So do what you want.)
And yea i dont want to take up so much stuff. This site is very outdated but should give you some help Why Linux is better. (OUTDATED)
I dont have any Windows in my room... I use linux... :)
