Thanks for the great responses! Kubuntu looks like a must try, I think I'll invest in another hard drive and dual boot and see if I get along with it better. I've mostly spent time trying to get to grips with Fedora. In response to Dank: > Which applications? 100% necessary are the latest versions of Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Photoshop CS2 would be good, too. That's the trouble - the software I use (and need) are usually latest versions. Visual Basic 6 and Visual Studio.net would also be valuable to me, at least in the near future. Then I have my games, but they're not *needed* and I don't play them very often nowadays. > Oh, maybe.

I used Fedora as I thought it would be a good idea so I can eventually figure out setting up a Linux web server - but I wanted to try it as a replacement OS, too. As suggested in the first reply, I think I'll try Kubuntu first this time... > I think for 1.0 the main goals are "installers should all just work" > and > "quite a few games should work well".

Okay, that clears up the aims of 1.0 for me :-) I'd really like to be able to play recent games in linux; I don't often play games but when I do I like them to be the nice new ones :-D _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
