However as Mint 9 is on long term support until April 2013 there's no need to move to Mint 10 unless you want to. If you don't regularly get updates from Mint, do so now: most distros have a graphical updater so you don't need to do it at command line level, though learning to use the command line is a very good idea because you'll need it to trouble shoot Wine if you try to run an app that needs some TLC to run. Its a good idea to get into the habit of running the updater at least once a week because, unlike M$ products, Linux packages are more or less continuously being improved. Using the updater is pretty much a matter of starting it and watching it run, though if you haven't done it for a while this might take some time to get caught up with all the latest package versions. When you've done that, let us know what version of Wine is now installed. Martin
