windows on-line kids-games in lindows


to play on-line windows based kids games in lindows, do i need winex or win4lin or ?

i am trying to get my family on to linux/lindows and this would pretty much seal the deal.

thanks ahead.

Win4Lin is a way of running Windows as a process on Linux.. last I knew it was only running Windows98, but would probably work for your purposes.

If WineX works for whatever your running it usually works OK, but generally isn't 100%. It also doesn't work on a wide variety of programs.. I found it ran less programs than WINE last time I compared them.

So you might want to check out Win4Lin first.
