About Steam This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop. $ winecfg Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start and you can set a virtual desktop in the graphics tab if you wish. This is a good time to also set your Audio driver in the Audio tab. The first thing we need to do is install Gecko, what is gecko? About Gecko Gecko is the open source, free software web browser layout engine used in all Mozilla-branded software and its derivatives, including later Netscape releases. Written in C++ and licensed under MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license, Gecko is designed to support open Internet standards. Originally created by Netscape Communications Corporation, its development is now overseen by the Mozilla Foundation. The easiest way to install Gecko is to simply run "wine iexplore" and Wine will install Gecko for you. tom@tuxonfire ~ $ wine iexplore  The built in wine explorer browser will render web pages quite nicely btw, there just isn't a location bar in place at the moment so you have to navigate via the command line :D tom@tuxonfire ~ $ wine iexplore http://www.wine-reviews.net/  Installing Steam Download Steam from here. Now execute the Steam installer with this command and the install process will begin. $ msiexec -i SteamInstall.msi           After this error message Steam will close... Don't be alarmed, all you need to do is re-start Steam and it should run perfectly fine. If you have chosen to run the install in a virtual desktop you will want to un-select this. The main Steam window will always be the front most window and cover any server or config windows that you start.
