Hi all,

Recently when i am through some of the linux magazines here i saw Windows running as a program in Linux.

I was very curious about that . Can anybody tell me how can i do that? :P

A program called WINE:

basically it is a windows emulator.

yeah, wine or vmware.

aye, VMWare is much better with runing windows programs than Wine currently is... This is due to the fact that VMWare emulates a computer and you install Windows inside of that "Virtual Computer".

Thanks for that.

But when i installed wine inRH9 (wine2000***) it says it is upgrading, but i can't find the wine exe on my system

Where it could be on my system?

just type wine (windows program name) and it should launch that app

type locate -u (updates the list of files locate keeps on your system)
when that finishes type locate wine (searches the list that locate -u made for "wine")
if the list is too long for your screen type locate wine | less (does the same as locate wine, it just displays the output in the less program (so you can scroll up and down))

hope that helps
