Re: Wine Server for multi users

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm trying to do this as my project. So it really doesnt deal with any
specific application. As of now, Wine behaves as a stand-alone system
for the user who installs applications (Each user has his own Vitual
Machine). Its not scalable like an unix application which can be
shared across multiple users. So i'm trying to figure out exactly
that.

By having one instance of wineserver for all wine processes (no matter
who the user is), we achieve something like shared unix apps. Since im
a student this will be very helpful if our servers have applications
installed and multiple users could share them.
