Three possible solutions: - Seperate Windows server for those applications. This is already mentioned. - Emulate the applications using WINE (see winehq.org). This depends on what applications we are talking about. In practice, using WINE might be a lot of work. You might want to look at Crossover Office (http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/), they are selling a WINE installer that takes care of making especially Microsoft Office and some others run hassle-free on Linux. - Run VMWare to emulate a new Windows session within Linux. If this is more or less work than the first one depends on the situation I guess... First and third one requires lots of licenses from Microsoft, the second one only requires licenses for Crossover Office (I asked them and they said that you must have as many licenses as you have concurrent users) and the actual licenses of the Windows programs you want to run. Third one is probably the most expensive one. // Dag Sverre ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
