Please, what role could play XEN in the whole thing? Is this an alternative for WMware or any other virtualization environment? Thanks. Best, Ricardo

No offensive, I love linux, I am a hardcore linux user for 4 years. I also love Coral Draw, so much love it that almost as much as I love Linux. Why cannot I have both? (I already got the advice of inkscape, thank you. Inkscape is cool, but not that cool.)

I tried wine, which is a great success but still fail for a lot of Windows applications (including Coral Draw). I also tried emulate software like VM ware, it's not as convienent as wine because all windows applications run in a emulated desktop, managed by Windows' own window manager (god damn stupid wm) rather then Linux's beautifully designed wm.

What if I want both? I want to run Windows application based on real Windows so that I can run it bug-free, I want it run on a Linux desktop, rather then on a Windows desktop that sits in a window in a Linux desktop. I love both Coral Draw and Linux so much that I don't even mind paying a Windows license to be able to run Coral Draw.

Is there a solution for my case?

Well, since you don't want to use Wine or a virtual machine, such as VMWare, all you have to do, is convince Corel to release a Linux version. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
