Hi guys!
I work with Linux's distribution ubunutu. I play in Pokerstars, it runs with wine, but it has got some little problems (when I change my work area, for example). Is there any poker room which runs with ubuntu?
Thank you

Hi,
check out ht tp :// appdb.winehq. org/ appbrowse.php? catId=78 (kill the blanks, i cant post links dont have enough posts yet ) to see which ones work with wine.
Pokerstars worked for me without any problems.
So does Full Tilt, or Carbon Poker. Havent tested any others.
But on the link you can check what has worked for others.

Also bwin/ongame rooms have a great java client which should work without any problems.
Partypoker does too. Pacific poker too, but last time I tested I did not like it.

Maybe some others have java clients too, don't know.

You can also use VMWARE with Windows I guess.

 Everything but running it with virtualbox is suboptimal imo.
virtualbox has a nice feature that allows the gnome or kde window manager to integrate the program windows into the desktop... last time I checked VMware didn't have that. And you can get virtualbox through the official repos.
