I was trying to run some windows programs under wine, but they were not compatible. I sent email to the Wine list and to win4lin. Unless the program will run under Win95-98, forget it for the present. Win4Lin told me that Win2K, which would also mean NT4, would be supported later this year. Depends on the program whether will run under wine. Apparently, most MS office programs will, but I was trying to use Winedit and some cad programs, which run presently under win98, but will not support win98 on the next release. I did not have success with any of them.

I am groping my way through learning Linux, and have a small network of Windows NT PC's, with an ADSL connection. I now have SuSE Linux 8 installed on a PC connected to the LAN. This PC was setup with a small (2Gb) NT4 partition, and the remaining 18Gb for SuSE. I am still struggling with Samba, printing, and other issues, but can use Konqueror to browse the net from SuSE. I have a number of programs that I use under windows, they may or may not run under Linux using Wine...that remains to be tested. My aim would be to move totally to Linux if I can. Now the question is, do I need to keep the NT4 partition on this Linux box to be able to test my windows application software?
