Simply type the commands in a shell... And it should download Winex sources in your current directory

So the problem is that CVS seems not to be installed So we need to know which distro you use to help you... For example if you use Debian, just type as root:
Code:
apt-get install cvs
but with a Red-Hat you use rpm command, download the package, log as root and:
Code:
rpm -ivh you_package.rpm

lol... that's problem may be due to a lot of reasons. In general, that's because you have recompiled your kernel without repatching for you drivers (for ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards).
Or that's may be due to a change in your X config (/etc/X11/XF86config).

which is better
For games (CS, UT...) winex is the best... If you want to do other things like text processing (be careful Word doesn't work with wine), wine seems to be better...

how do i install it
We've already answer to this in the previous messages

CVS is an utility which allow you to retrieve source code from a CVS server. And to download Winex without a subscription, you need CVS client.
About your Xserver problem, if you have Nvidia or ATI graphic chipset: repatch your kernel with your drivers... If that doesn't work, recompile your kernel, and retry to patch it with the drivers... If you own another graphic chipset, try to reconfigure your Xserver with xf86config utility.

Lol, i've fooled around with Linux a bit and feel less like a newbie, but i most certainly won't recommend fooling around with CVS and Kernels and all the stuff described in this thread [unless you are pretty much an advanced linux user] . I would rather just play games in Windows.

If you -really- want to play games in linux AND you're a newbie to Linux then you're mostly out of luck when it comes to "FREE" gaming. Odds are you going to f*ck up your installation before you even got your 3D card working, nevermind installing some "cvs" package [which usually are unstable and unsupported]. And even if you somehow manage to install it all correctly, then there's a high probability the game won't work anyway.
