War Craft III: DotA in Linux?? Why not?
1. First install Linux Ubuntu by rebooting into Ubuntu Live CD. Just click "install" icon in the Ubuntu desktop.
2. Enable Ubuntu APT global repository:
# sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bck
# sudo sed -i -e "s/#deb/deb/g" /etc/apt/sources.list
# sudo apt-get update
3. Install NVIDIA drivers (I used nVidia Quadro NVS graphics card):
# sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic
# sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Use 'nvidia' as the X graphic driver. Then restart X by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
# glxinfo | grep -i opengl
Make sure you can find "NVIDIA" and "Quadro NVS" displayed correctly.
4. Install WINE through APT:
# wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
# sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install wine
5. Copy the entire War Craft III folder to any path in Linux.
6. And finally, run War Craft III through WINE:
$ wine "/home/kevin/mywine/wc3/Warcraft III 1.20/War3.exe" -opengl -window
This proves that you don't have to buy Windows to play War Craft III. Amazing huh! Open-source rulezz!! Bye-bye Micro$oft..
