Re: what is wine



Since your on the Ubuntu mailing list i am going to assume you are using
Ubuntu. To install wine open up a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install
wine, or you can use synaptic, search for wine and install it from there.
There are alot of programs you can install with wine but some take more work
than others, for a good list go to: http://appdb.winehq.org/

Hi,Plz tell me what is wine and how to use it.

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API
on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.
From: http://www.winehq.org/

Basically it allows you to run (some) applications designed for
Windows under Linux.

There is a page describing it on help.ubuntu.com ,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

Hope that helps.

Andy
