How did you install wine? using an RPM? Source?

As for virtual desktops, its a way of organizing your work. Like you can put your e-mail on one desktop, play games on the other desktop, complile a kernel on another. It takes a little while to get used to comming from windows, but once you do you can never go back ;)

yep... if you installed through rpm, you can uninstall it with "rpm -e <package name>" at the command line. If it's compiled from sources, use "make uninstall" where your makefile is.

Check out this NHF (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/compiling/softinstall.html) for more details.

Hope this helps :)
