Thanks for your reply Xzin.

I'd considered Cedega, but I just couldn't stomach paying $5 a month for it. Like you said, that money's best spent elsewhere.

I've also considered going out and buying a 7xxx series nVidia card to replace my x1650 ati card. The only reason I'm still running the 6.10 version of Ubuntu and haven't upgraded to 7.04 is the incompatibility of my graphics card drivers. Once nVidia gets the 8xxx series drivers sorted out, I'll probably buy an 8600 chipset card. I hate to go out and spend $150 or so on a 7xxx series card when I could get an 8600 for close to the same price.

I'm anxious for this thing to finish patching though so I can get to tinkering with it.

Here are a couple of links for Linux WoW installations using Wine.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft - Ubuntu community supported site with detailed instructions on installation / tweaking

http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine - a good general purpose WoW/Wine guide on WoW Wiki

Between the site you linked and these, I'm sure anyone should be able to get some good information.
