If yes, what distro do you use or would like to use?

Have you had any luck running BBA BC in wine or cedega?

I would like to see a native Linux port and not to need Wine to run it. Should be possible with the Mac OSX version progressing.
My Distro is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Ups: I ran it on Windows 7 because I have much to much stuff which needs Microsoft OS.

I installed Fedora 15 and their version of Wine. The BA 1.3 version installed without problem. When I run the game it gives a warning about internet access. The update window opens, I selected not to update, and unchecked full screen. It then goes to a black screen with the music playing. I had to ctrl alt del to get out.

It's not something we support, for sure. But does it run if you don't try fullscreen?

Cheers

I didn't have time this morning to try again. I will tonight. There are also some winetricks to investigate. The WineHQ DB shows FOG working well on linux.

No luck. Maybe someone with more experience would make it work.

I gave up and formated the drive then installed XP.
