If I recall virt-manager is available. This is easier to use in my opinion than qemu manager (from which I could never manage to launch VMs). I think with Wine you should install the latest version anyway as support keeps improving even for old programs. This is a problem with Trisquel too

it's fine, tonlee - the answer really is, i genuinely don't know, as it's too complex to make an assessment... but people seem not to be accepting that i don't know (and can't answer), and keep on asking, and it's a bit exasperating if i'm honest :) so i've written that little python

Good point, It was just a thought but now that you point it out, it seems kind of silly that I even bothered to post that. ;) Defeat always ends in failure right? So all we need to do is succeed. :)

Actually, I think there is one way you can extend time without losing face in any way shape or form. Just make a poll asking your backers and others if they want the time extended for getting funded. Although, it is again up to you. Sooner or later, such funding will come I feel, though
