Currently it's running Kubuntu 9.10, however Wine just doesn't seem to work - any aplication I try to run on it gives an error message 'The program has encountered a serious problem and needs to close', whether it's a game, WinRar or an installer. In fact the only .exe files that work are the ones included in wine (notepad, gecko etc). > Pick one of the apps that doesn't work, run it from a terminal, and post whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal
