Hello everyone, I was playing around a little tonight and I was able to get Wine working! I have tried Solitaire and WinZip and both of them work fine. Now if I can get Office 2000 to work I will be all set.

Hey, that's great! I used Wine once, and I was able to get Red Alert working perfectly, and even Tiberian Storm! It's great to be able to run Windows software in Linux, even if not all of it works.

I also installed WINE in my RH7 box. it worked.. but not all apps did. I dont think we'll ever get office and/or any other much more Win Specific app to run tho, i guess they have so many win DLLs WINE just cant keep up.

Cheers! :D

I have wine working, installed from .deb, but it doesn't have glide compiled in er whatever so I can't game.. Sigh, why would someone make a .deb of wine without glide? I mean, if you aren't going to game with it, what's the point? :)

I havn't try wine too long before I found out that there are still quite a lot of software that can not be run. But this weekend I tried Vmware. Nice one.
