Hi,
I've used both WINE and VMWare (1.0 - 1.2). Obviously there are merits for using either but these are my opinions...
WINE would be the perfect scenario, just simply running the windows executables direct from linux. But it is still in an alpha state so each time a new release is made things get fixed, and others get broken. For example about 1-1.5 years ago a release was made which meant I could use MS Mail to get company email. 6 months later this broke, and is now working again! But on the plus side, things are moving along very fast now and more things are being fixed than broken. Just check the applications listed on the homepage and you can see a large number of apps and games are now being reported to work.
One of the many reasons I am trying Linux is to see if my CDROM's will work using WINE. ---These CDROM's are fairly simple: graphics and *.wav file to teach French, so these would probably be supported, though I'm not certain. My question, nutshell: What's the magic to configure WINE in my /home/kline directory? I copied the system-wide WINE config file... but now what? thanks, gary -- Gary D.
