Newbie Wine Question

Hi All,

I have a question about wine that I hope someone can answer.

I have recently made the jump to all Linux (Mandrake 9.1). But there are some programs that I would like to be able to run under Linux. I do not need to run MS Office (through Crossover Office), even though I own a copy of MS Office professional. I use Open Office now and it works just fine. I do not need to run WineX for games since the game I play has a version for Linux (Tribes 2). The main program I would like to run is Logos Bible software. I do have Gnome Sword running but I have about $500 wrapped up in books for Logos. It would be nice to be able to use it in linux.

Here are my questions:

I have a registered copy of Win98SE. If I create a dual boot system can wine draw from that partition and be able to run more apps with more stability? If so, should Logos be installed on the Win98 partition prior to installing it in Linux?

Can it also work with XP. I just bought a new Computer (Dell) and I am going to put Mandrake 9.2 on it and hopefully set wine up to run Logos. Since the computer comes preinstalled with XP Home could wine use something from it?

Thanks for any help
Russ
