> So I need some help, to understand the advantages of wine and how do I go about installing some of my very important Microsoft programs. Do I just run the C.d in the drive and allow it to load up from their or do I put in codes or something. > Not exactly sure what you are asking but I will take a stab at it. No. You do not make use of installed windows applications from your windows hard drive in wine. You have to install every application directly in wine. > > I woul also like to know - if all programs which can run on windows will it be able to run on Kbuntu wine or will their be some limitations. > There will be limitations. See appdb.winehq.org and enter the application you want to run under wine in the search box.. John
