No poker sites support linux i just found out. You have to go through a process which includes installing a program called wine and emulating the poker client which im hesitant to do as it is buggy as hell, so ive read. You`d think poker sites would support Linux with all the roulage they make.
Need some tips getting mine up and running, luckily i dual booted so for now can just reboot back into xp but i want rid so need to get past this MAJOR problem!

Suggestions..... :confused:

Just a dumb question, but since mac is based on unix these days, can you install a mac client? Is there some wine like interface to mac applications?

Wine works well with pokerstars, I read. I use Wine for other Windows programs but haven't tried it for poker yet.

Or go to the sites that play poker in the browser, like Pokerroom.com.

I could have sworn I ran into a native Linux poker client in the last two weeks, something new, but I can't remember or find it now.
