I agree with you on your aversion to using windows vista (i have aversions myself to using it).
Fortunitely Ma has said that they dont have immediate plans to impliment a requirement to vist, so i thik we might be good for that for at least a year.
Though now is the time to make MA sure that you wont be able to participate in EU if they require it as well as get more people to join the anti-vista movment to encourage MA to never force a vista upgrade on us, or if they do to give us a generous forwarning so we can liquidate our avatars or upgrade.
Last tiem MA did this they made XP a requirement and gave no forwarning of it and some people got shut out of EU until they could get xp. Hopefully we can prevent that happening with vista.
People have tried to get EU to work on linux, see the otehr thread that was mentioned below to see about thier experiences with it.
Hopefully in the meantime we can encourage Ma to make it easier to run EU on linux, either as is or with wine/cedega.

Solution:?
Wine is fine, but, whiskey's quicker. I know nothing about linux, but, i couldn't resist. Sorry, and now back to your regularly scheduled thread topic...

Isnt EU dependant on DirectX?

If yes: No way you could make it work under Linux. The interfaces of DirectX are not open, so you have no chance to make it run correctly.

Whats in it for DirectX 8:
  • Shared 'wined3d' codebase for Direct3D 8 and 9
  • Hardware non-power2 texstures
  • Improved compressed texture support
  • Many more texture formats supported
  • Offscreen texture improvements
  • Colour corrections for textures
  • A tonne of bug fixes and other improvements from earlier releases

Whats out:
  • Shaders. There currently too buggy so are disabled and will be worked on over the comming weeks
  • Performance patches. I'm aiming to stabalize as much as possible before going for performance, as soon as that happens the performance improvements listed below will be properly intergrated affecting DirectX 8 and 9
