Running Windows software on Wine

by intj-astral . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

I am running Suse Linux 10.1 and have been for the past six months. I am running a few Windows programs under Wine and would like to hear from people what programs they are successfully running with it. For those unfamiliar with it, Wine is an open source program that allows you to install and run Windows software within Linux. If you’d like to get more info on it, see http://www.winehq.com/ Please keep this thread Wine and Linux-centered, there are plenty of other threads fussing over Vista. Preemptively, I’m disclosing that I use Suse on the recommendation of my company’s IT and because it works well on my hardware. I also got it before that surreal faustian pact. Yes, I am worried about Novell-Microsoft but that is not the focus here.
