hi
i downloaded wine to work some programs that run on MS like itunes and maybe msn, but i dont no how to work it, i knew about it before i downlooaded it but ive downloaded and installed it 3 times and it doesn't make a difference. is there something that im missing??? im running linux linpus lite (acer aspire one) which i beleive is linux fedora or fedora core 8 or something along those lines thats my guesswork from my little knowledge abt linux. it doesnt have a desktop. so theres no automatically created icon im usually quite good with computers but compleetly new to linux and im stumped.... any ideas???
