Maverick Meerkat

[Che Guebeara]

Is Vista even necessary? So far I have been able to run all my Windows
apps via Wine without a hitch and none of the overhead of a VM. In fact
a number of my Windows apps run better on Wine than they ever did in
Windows (Photoshop, Terragen etc.). The only 'semi-issue' I have had is
finding obscure dll's to add to the Wine matrix but there are a couple
of excellent sites on the net that allow downloads of individual dll's
(especially useful for legacy software that was developed on VB6!).
