Linux anyone ?

Greetings footy and champ managers!

Has there been any sign from SI or Eidos that one fine day we will have
our games of choice available on Linux platforms as well as Windows ?

Has the issue even been raised with these companies ?
They seem keen to place their games on consoles readily enough, to
their shame.

Apart from that, all the best.

I seriously doubt it. Have you tried playing it in Linux under a
Windows emulator ?

No, but people posted here that they ran it on Linux using Wine or
VMware, just that it's slow.

It's hardly the quickest anyway though!

Thanks for your comments fellas !

Windows emulator eh ? Hadn't thought of that.

Nevertheless, I take it that neither Eidos or SI have dropped any hints
over the years about providing a Linux version......?


Cheers,

Forgotten to add the wineX link just in case you did not know.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winex
Not that it helps too much as all files have been taken down. Guess why.
