>I do not need Linux versions of the software. I know that some of these have Linux analogs. I am testing Wine and spend time for finding and roporting bugs. Some bugs affect a number of applications, but I link them to downloadable (and free) applications so other users could test thgese bugs. > >Instead of writing your comment here you could confirm some of the above bugs and and by that make your contribution to testing. > Again, your bugs will be confirmed or denied when the bugs are/were triaged. There is no need to ask/request/beg that they be confirmed. That is and will be the request of those of us that do this work. Unless a bug is denied, you may not know that it was even worked on. Lastly, please be patient. There are very old bugs/problems that need to be fixed as well. James McKenzie
