This is general Linux knowledge, not specific to any particular distro. Using Wine needs more knowledge than how to click icons on the desktop, so you have some learning to do. If you're a power Windows user (i.e. can use its command line and know more than just clicking buttons and expecting things to 'just happen') getting a copy of "Linux in a nut shell", and looking up stuff as you need it will see you right, but the book does assume that you're up to speed with at least one other OS and can use a command line. If this isn't you, you're better off with a book that explains the basics: "Linux for Dummies" is generally well regarded for a complete Linux and OS newbie. Martin
