By "this country" I meant the UK as a whole :-) alan Mark Evans wrote:
Hi all,
Two questions :-
1. Has anybody experience of running Lotus applications under WINE?
Sorry never even tried to run them at all.
2. Has anybody any ideas if Lotus & WINE operate / run under LTSP?
If WINE will run the program then I don't see any reason why LTSP should matter (Unless WINE has been somehow built to only use the "shared memory" X extension, which requires both client and server to be on the same machine.)
Win4Lin works fine with LTSP and will run just about any Windows program which dosn't want to either open a listening socket or use Direct X. (Indeed it runs somethings considerably better than under regular Windows.)
We have been allocated approx £61K for ICT developments leading to a community school .. I have proposed an LTSP based solution BUT, can only go ahead if present software will operate under WINE. I hope somebody can help here as the future otherwise becomes to horrible to contemplate (If it does not then the horrible solution that will be imposed on me involves M$ office) and I'll have to resign and go find a job in IT on the Indian Sub-Continent!
I'm not sure MS Office runs especially well under WINE anyway.
Sometimes I think (well in fact I'm convinced) that ICT education and the future of this country are on a fast and very slippery downhill road to oblivion!
Is "this country" Wales or the whole of the UK?
