[ubuntu-za] Windows applications on Ubuntu

[Jan Greeff]

Thanks Peter. Now my next question.

I need to run my Legacy genealogy software on Windows. (Gramps is not an 
option)

This was previously done via Virtualbox OSE, but it's a nuisance to go 
back and forth. Is there a better solution, e.g. via Wine?

Best wishes,

Jan
