I wouldn't know how to go that...

What is "SAST" ?

So it doesn't work then...

Yes...

I don't do any gaming at all. The only 3D "game" (well, flight sim
really) I like, X-Plane , runs on Linux. And even then, I don't use it
because I don't find it mature enough to my taste, so I don't think I
will be playing it before 3 years at best.
No really, if I keep Windows it's purely to have it handy, "just in
case". To date I have only needed it to workaround problems that arise
every now and then in Linux because of proprietary formats, some videos,
some acrobat files, some MS Office documents, some websites with crappy
flash animations, things like that...
