Hmmm. I haven't tried running vDOS or anything else under Wine. I have no need to. I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu Linux off an SSD, and switching environments takes under a minute. If I need to do something specific to an OS, I boot into it. I'm not enough of an open source purist that the current status of vDOS will affect whether I run it, and I believe the vDOS fork with LFN support I use *is* still open source. But I'm not dead set opposed to proprietary code under Linux if I need the functionality. I currently use proprietary Intel microcode to better support the Xeon CPU in the desktop box, and I'm evaluating installing the proprietary AMD-ATI Linux graphics driver in place of the open source version currently installed. It's a complex exercise, so the question is whether the performance gain justifies the effort required. But it's good to know vDOS runs under Wine, if you are someone who might need to. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
