Well, here's the first one:

How can I tell what version of WINE I have on my Live Knoppix cd?

[Cuddles]

if you type (in a terminal/bash thingy whatever it decided to call it)

wine --help

it should display help listing all the run options. the typical run option to simply display the version is either -v or -version
so:

wine -v

or

wine -version

might work, if you want to try that first.......

anything else?

i'd check for sure of the exact command, but im on windows right now....watchin tv on the laptop....

[slowz]

( man ) is one of the most important commands in nix. IMHO

man wine

NAME
wine - run Windows programs on Unix

SYNOPSIS
wine program [arguments ... ]
wine --help
wine --version

For instructions on passing arguments to Windows programs, please see
the PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS section of the man page.

[Cuddles]

bah...of course i didnt mention man.....completely forgot of it's existance...that's sad.....i use that command all the goddamn time....

im not sure what IMHO means any more, so refresh my memory...

[slowz]

In My Humble Opinion

[Cuddles]

Anybody know any good OpenGL tutorials for Linux because the best one me and Cuddles could find is from 1997.

I've seen that site, but those tutorials are for M$ and Mac, I don't see any Linux tutorials.

Wow, looks cool. Thanks slowz. You know anything about Videogame design or 3D modeling or anything of the sort related to making videogames?
