There is a new Wine help and discussion forum, wine-forum.org that is meant to be a meeting place for anyone interested in Wine usage or development. In the past there there has never been a single forum dedicated solely to Wine. The lack of a single forum has left people to post Wine related help and discussions in other forums. At the moment most users turn to their Linux distribution forum where Wine is often a sub-forum at most and questions often go unanswered.

I found this on the Ubuntu user forums, thanks goes out to (deadlydeathcone) here is his post.

A script called winefix. In short, it allows Wine applications to be run just as easily as those native to Linux, meaning that they can be linked to or run from any directory, whether from a terminal or even a file manager like nautilus. It also handles some of the more awkward Wine extensions like .lnk and .msi, akkowing them to be run with a double click.

I have a post on Wine-Review about a video of Microsoft next OS, aka Windows 7 ...... There is a hour long video there, its .wmv but dont worry mplayer plays it just fine.

Also since my last update here, ive added these post.

I have thought about this subject over the last couple days and had this drawn out short book to post here about my thoughts on Immigration. But ill spare everyone the pain and just post a short paragraph. For those of you who don't personally know me, I'm 37 years old, single and have only a select few loves in my life, and one of the loves at the top of the list is to travel around this most fascinating planet of ours. I'm not what you would call your average traveler by any common sense of the word, the places that I have had the opportunity to visit are some of the poorest places on this planet not to mention some of the most dangerous.

They say a photograph is worth a thousand words..... So here is two thousand.

The first is of me in front of a stream in the mountains of southern Mindanao Philippines, the fine folks in the background are bathing and doing there laundry on rocks.

The Burj Dubai is now the worlds tallest free standing structure and soon to surpass the KLVY TV mast in North Dakota as the tallest structure ever built by man.

Wine Review is a blog that contains information and reviews of Windows applications and games running on Linux using Wine. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.

Here is most of the previous post, they cover Photoshop, MS Office, IE 6, ITunes, QuickTime on Linux. In the near future I plan to start adding games and other Office type apps such as Quicken, Dreamweaver, Quickbooks.
