While it is possible to use Wine to run **some** Windows applications in Linux it is not straightforward, and you are not likely to succeed on your first day as a Linux user. Why not try out some Linux applications? There are some great ones on your CDs Ask if you want some tips on which apps to use. If you have some specialised need to run specific Windows apps, then checkout www.codeweavers.com for a version of Wine which makes office type Windows apps easy to install for a newbie. (It costs money), or if gaming is your thing go to www.transgaming.com for a version of Wine optimised for **certain** Windows games. (It costs money) Or go to www.netraverse.com if you want to run Windows98 INSIDE Linux derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
