yeah i know they were typos, but i had to do that

anyway, to answer your question. cedega is not the ONLY way, but it is probably the BEST way. WINE is taking huge steps forward and they are starting to implement a nice DirectX system which will allow you to play some games under straight up wine. When you subscribe (for a month or for a year) it pretty much allows you to connect to their website and d/l the latest version, once your subscription expires you will still be able to use the software on your computer, but NOT update it anymore.
you can also always just play linux games....i found ET to be a satisfactory replacement for CS:S
