I used WINE/CrossoverOffice for a number of years, but there were some apps, such as RealPlayer that don't work under WINE/Crossover. (And the Big Brother feeds need MSIE validation). I tried installing RealPlayer 10 under Crossover, but it failed. And the native Linux RealPlayer, while it works well, cannot be used with the specific feeds my wife wanted. I install MSIE under WINE on all of my systems because there is always an ornery web site where Firefox is not supported. -- -- Jerry Feldman <[hidden email]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
