I've never played around with wine very much, because whenever I wanted
to run windows software at home I'd fire up my Win98 partition.
Unfortunately, fewer and fewer new windows programs will run on Win98.
I was just reading a Slashdot article and came across wine-doors. The
website (http://www.wine-doors.org/) describes it as follows:
"Wine-doors is an application designed to make installing windows
software on Linux, Solaris or other Unix systems easier. Wine-doors is
essentially a package management tool for windows software on Linux
systems. Most Linux desktop users are familiar with package management
style application delivery, so it made sense to apply this model to
windows software.
Wine-doors works by leveraging the exquisite software, libraries and
tools created over at WineHQ, there are also plans to support Cedega,
cvscedega and Crossover Office."
Anyone ever taken a look at this?
