hi, is there a better emulator out there, much better than wine or winex? one that is free... :-)

Free, no, otherwise, perhaps. If you are talking about running office applications, like Microsoft Office, Codeweavers Crossover Office is a fine product, but costs.

 

Of course, OpenOffice is still my favorite Linux based package to run Microsoft Office applications. Star Office is also a great product. With either, you don't need Wine or Winex.

 

For games, have you looked at Frank's Corner, which has some good tips for running games in Wine.

 

But, Wine and Winex are still the free mainstream products that are available.
