How to run FM 7 pro on linux

I've successfully run FM 7 pro on linux with Wine.

Quick installation Guide

- Any linux distribution ( I've tested on Fedora 3 and Redhat 9 )

- Lastest Wine version ( Wine 0.9-2 )

During installation, you may find the field box for registration key

is not long enough. Try ommit - on the registration key.

If anyone needs help on installing please feel free to ask me.

I don't know if that is consider and article but anyway WINE is Wine Is Not an Emulator. It's a program that let you run programs (that runs on Windows platform ) runs on Linux platform. For more information about wine you can visit http://www.winehq.com. So far Wine database has reported to run FM 4,5,6 sucessfully. I just want people to know if they want to run FM pro under linux, they can do that now. ( Only up to version 7 ). Version 8 seems to have problem with the installation.

Thanks for the advice. I recently acquired a laptop and installed Ubuntu on it, and will be attempting to install FM7 Developer on it tonight (my first attempts failed, but the officially supported version of WINE is very out of date, so I just had enough time to update that so far).

I'll post how it works out.
