Are you able to have shipsim in a computer with linux

Though Linux is not supported you could try running it within WINE but I can't give you the guarantee that it is going to work. In case you don't have the game yet start with the demo But I guess you are going to need a dual boot system with windows XP / Vista for Ship Simulator to work properly.

Hi.

This isn't a technical support issue, as it isn't about a poblem with a Ship SImulator installation.

I'll move it to Small Talk, where you're far more likely to get people answering your questions.

Ooh soory i think after i post it that it maby was in the wrong place REALY soory

No problem. I just like to keep the place tidy. And you're far more likely to get feedback here, I think.

Speaking of which:

You should be able to dual boot Linux and XP/Vista.

But depending on which version of Linux you're usin, you might get problems. I think Red Hat can sometimes to odd things to the Master Boot Record, and that can confuse XP. But not always.
