wine or VM
Etch
2.6.18-3-k7
KDE 3.5
Hello,
we used to run programs on WIN98SE, Win2000 and XP using for instance
QUICKTIME or being programmed in Pascal using graphics.
Some people are using powerpoint-presentations and WINWORD-Textfiles. Both
with problems since StarOffice 8 PP5 is not transferring everything exactly.
So some of those people don't want to take Staroffice or whatever. If it is
not working the way they did it, forget it.
I made a few experiments with wine, but had problems with charactersizes in
graphics, if it was running at all.
Is a virtual machine a better alternative to wine?
Which vm is a good advice on a 1,8-GHz computer with 500MB? How much memory is
minimum?
We just need an environment for MS-Office, some special-programs and
shockwave-applets.
Do you need updating Windows once it is running in an VM without internet?
1. Wine or vm?
2. Best choice for ETCH?
3. A good list or forum to ask further questions?
Thankyou
Bernd Kloss
