I used
Transgaming's winex tool, and got Everquest to install, but my OPENGL wouldn't work because of an unrelated video driver problem. I have played Diablo 1 (which they claim is not possible at this time), but wasn't able to save my character because "it's impossible" to play it. Diablo 1's problems saving a character were probably related to spoofing a computer name, which is vital to saving characters in Winblows. I got Diablo II to work, and civilization 3. They work pretty damn well. Diablo II was a good time - it installed right off the CD and put a shortcut on my KDE desktop and everything. I DID have problems with mounting CDs, as I didn't have supermount.
Everquest install was pretty straightforward, and I got EQLive patch to work. I was unable to get eqemu patcher to work at that time in Linux. I couldn't forge the right Windows binary type.
I had screenshots for my Linux install, but I wiped through a few installs trying to get my nvidia.o driver to work, and I don't know if I saved those shots or if I erased them to install Windows over the backup partition.
As far as I know by
screenshots I've seen on
Transgaming's website, EQ is playable. As for my own experiences, I don't think eqemu patcher would work. There IS a way around this, with eqfix.zip, but I wouldn't dare post it here for fear of retribution from the board moderators.
Check the transgaming

I use Slackware Linux 8.1, with KDE 3. I don't use most of the fluffy distributions, but I might switch to something simpler in the near future and save slackware for server space.
