Default cedega and gentoo

Ok i have a question? Is cedega worth the hipe? I mean its pretty expensive for a college student. Also does Gentoo come with cedega? I know gentoo is a pain to install as a noob, but i'm working through it. Any help would be great.

Have a look at this article, it's about a year old but still pretty accurate regarding Cedega.

Linux Takes on Windows Gaming

Here is a link for installing Cedega on Gentoo.

I've never tried using it myself, personally I couldn't see buying a monthly or yearly subscription to maybe play games that I already purchased. If you want a dedicated gaming rig I'd suggest purchasing a copy of 98 SE or Win2K, you could probably find them pretty cheap on eBay. At least with that route you would be guaranteed compatibility.

Or you could choose to try Cedega. If you do go the Cedega route please post back and let me know how its working for you. :question:

Gentoo comes with Portage, and a minimal base system. Everything else is added by the user who does the installation.
