Re: [newbie] how to use Wine ?
If I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of Linux altenatives to Messenger. The one that comes to mind is EveryBuddy, which I used to use very successfully. But that was a while ago, so YMMV.

Re: [newbie] How to use WINE?
this took me a while to figure out. at the moment wine is not at version 1. so it still can't do much. version 1 will have an x interface. but if you still want to use it: wine is only a command line program. open a x termanal, and type: wine /mnt/windows/windows/regedit.exe this will run regedit. where the second part is the loctaion. go to www.winehq.com to see a database of programs that will run.
