Post Linux and Steam
Anyone else use linux? I know how to install Steam, and make sure it works, but it tends to take a bit, Anyone know of a quick way of doing it? With WoW, I just install and play, same with other games, but steam can be a bitch :( Tired of winblows and wanna switch back to Slackware cause better FPS, Everything runs better, etc.

This right hurr is probably as easy as it's going to get. The next best option is making your own emulator which while satisfying is a huge bitch.

Installing using Wine isn't really the issue, there can be some issues with game play / Fonts / installing from the msi. Must not be fucked up like it was a year ago. It took me like 3 hours to get steam installed. I'll post when i do it this time
