Ahhh, I get it I was reading up on Wine and the program basically is always in beta. I've always stayed away from beta testing. I might as well download the latest version from the .deb packages archive page. Wine 1.1.29 i386, -dev This was the link that started this whole experience with me trying Linux: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=49 so I'll post more if I don't understand it. How hard is the instructions on the page for a linux noob and Wine noob?
