It's good that your neighbour is that interested that he found you by a<br>

</div><div>I think I did the installation 3-4 weeks ago and because she hasn't asked, I can assume everything is super fine. However, another one called me twice because they have Windows 8 which ... well, you know Windows :D<br>

If Paint is really needed and shouldn't run with wine, consider to get<br>
the licensed Windows of those PCs running in VirtualBox. It seems to be<br>
semi-legal and should be possible. Last month or this month this was<br>
discussed in a thread on Debian users mailing list, I don't remember the<br>
subject at the moment.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I refuse to install Windows :D<br></div><div>I will do whatever it takes to provide those newcomers with any option but not Windows.<br><br>His son needs Paint because he is studying it at school and I have to convince him that it is not necessarily to use the exact same program. I guess I have my own way to do a brainwash :P hehe just kidding :) <br>
