WINE for Linux

["Peter Dow (ML)" <maillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is mainly directed to Joe Pluta, but might be of interest to anyone 
else trying to move from Windows to Linux.

I've been setting up a Fedora box (I'm very much a Linux beginner), and 
really missed some utilities I have on my Windows box.  I don't remember 
where I heard it, but someone has managed to replicate the entire 
Windows API as a program that's run under Linux; they call it WINE.  
After installing it, it's possible in many cases to "install" a Windows 
program on that Linux box and have it work.

I've successfully gotten UltraVNC and PasswordSafe running on my Fedora box.

The WINE website, http://www.winehq.org/, has a list of application 
software that's known to work, or partially work, using WINE.
