afaik you wont get FFB on Linux via WINE.

If i were you i'f get XP & nLite an make a gaming only OS.

:( ok, so yea sounds like i'm gonna be putting vista (i have the OS disc, i just don't particularly care for windows lol i'm a linux guy) on it and getting it up as my "gaming" operating system

[frokki]

wouldn't xp be better system for gaming than vista?

Yes it would no doubt be better but he probably doesn't have Windows XP and doesn't want to go and pay for it?

[SLiguykyle]

lol ya i have vista, vista runs better for me (i know, weird) but yea.. look at my signature... it doesnt make a difference in lfs lol, is all that matters is that i have it running now so everyone's happy lol

Sorry for taking post up...

But I would really like to have my G25 work in Ubuntu too, I do have XP in my computer, but while LFS works fine in Wine, I would like to play LFS in Ubuntu with my wheel.

I have a feeling that we don't have to wait that long anymore...

Would be pretty awesome to dump Windows at home forever :D
