    Championship Manager will only run on Linux using a Windows Emulator like Wine.

    But... Wine Is Not an Emulator... is it? Or is the acronym just a bad joke to confuse us Linux newbies?!

    Sorry, I'm not an expert on Linux, not home use anyway. But I thought Wine was a Windows emulator for Linux.

    Actually looking at it more closer it's not really an emulator as such, just a sort of compatibility layer.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die


  • yes, ubuntu is easy to install and easy to use for office applications and browsing the internet, and of course Championship Manager.

    I'm a linux novice too, but when I use wine it says 'open with Wine Windows emulator.'
    I've never installed with it but I run quite a few exe programmes that are installed on my windows partition using wine.
