WoW and almost anything else should work very well under Wine. I can run WoW
and even Spore, though Spore being relatively new it has some minor graphical
issues.

Building and installing the latest Wine is so simple on a Debian system a total
beginner could do it.

Cedega has never ever worked properly for me, much like any other proprietary
crap I've tried.
