[indiana-discuss] Crossover Office 8.0.0 for OpenSolaris (unsupported)

[Gilles Gravier]

Well... Netbooks have strange graphics cards. Maybe your Linux version
didn't have proper 3D acceleration for your netbook.

I am on a Toshiba Tecra M2... Uses NVIDIA. So fancy Linux drivers
available... and... WoW isn't too much graphics intensive. What really
helps is that WoW loads huge amounts of textures... and Linux file
system is much more efficient than Windows... which is what gave me the
big performance increase.

It was at least a year or so back (when I was playing WoW - I stopped
since)... so probably Crossover 7.x on Linux Ubuntu 8.04.

Gilles.
