win software on linux?
I have heard that you can play games and run other software designed for linux if you put the DLL's in a windows partition.
Is this true? How would I do this?

Hi Andrewxcav,
I have never heard of this and I doubt it's true, porting Win32 programs to Linux is a lot more complicated than just DLLs. The closest thing to "emulation" currently is Wine.
