ral of the story. As much as your aim may be to run your win32 apps on linux, you should first examine an open source Linux alternative. It will run better, it will be free, it will be better supported (in terms of the way you are using it i.e. just tell an intuit tech rep that you are running quickbooks on wine/linux and see how much help you get), and most of all it will be an open source product which is the reason you chose Linux in the first place (isn't it?). I know the newbie urge is to seek w32/linux compatibility, but resist the urge and embrace the whole open source package. Just use wine for that verticle app or whatever that you absolutely need.


I totally agree with Arthur, however if you are looking for fun, give wine a shot, its really fun. M$ looks like dumb once you get wine running. LOL :O
