Ill jump in here , While I applaud Corel for making corel Office 2000 , and its phot shop app avialable on linux via wine , I would rather have a linux naative version. The fact that it uses wine/winelib is relevent in that if each app needs to load/use its own version of wine , than thati is a maitinence issue thaat could get thorny if there are several diffrent apps that need diffrent versions of wine/winelib. I would hoipe that they would only need a diffrent wine configuration file. Basicly if its an app that I realy need and is not avialable as a linux native app , I will considur using it under wine , but only if it realy does work well under wine. One of the issues I have is I still havee a bunch of P166/150s still in use , and with wine I take a significan preformance hit. Linux native is the way to go. Hopefull thaat issue will resolve its self when we upgrade/replace the two 400 AMD/K6s we have and use those to replace the P150/166s with. Older hardware is one of the major reasons for using linux. I wont use win 98 on that calss machine , and linux just runs better and doesent change setting on its own as windows like to do with out any warning or user permission. I havent had a linux machine go down or even hickup on me. They run finee once you ahve them set up. That I REALY LIKE about linux. At 04:19 PM 7/6/2000 +0100, Derek Fountain wrote:
There are still a number of morons out there who think anything with Winelib behind it isn't a Linux application so they won't use it. Don't listen to them. This is a classy application, ported to Linux, just like we are screaming for vendors to do. It works well, and they've given it away free - possibly as a showcase. It seems that good. Corel are struggling and they deserve our support.

I resent that, Derek. I'm certainly no moron, and it ISN'T a Linux app. if it depends on Wine....which I don't and won't use.
Resent it all you like. Corel's apps don't depend on Wine. They depend on Winelib. People who form opinions about what is and isn't a Linux app when they clearly don't know what is going on, then spout that opinion to all who will listen, are, IMHO, morons.
