Hey ... I used it for a while but it was too much trouble... Ask me your
question I will be glad to help

Well apart from email, the internet and perhaps star office there does not
seem too many things to use linux for, other than as a server. I'm trying to
use linux, so as to lran about it, with a view to selling it as a stable
solution to my customers. who on the most part have problems with
workstations but also use windows applications.

I myself have tried wine, on my home system, but find it will not run some
of my windows apps, quicken will run but has problems and family tree maker
just gives up. So am constantly switching from windows to linux and back. It
also managed to screw the drive with all my data.

Ideally I'd like to get right away from windows not even having it installed
on the system.

So the real question is if you are not using wine what are you using to run
windows apps in linux.

Regards
Keith Jacobs
