What is Wine?

For those who cannot live without a particular Windows application but do not like the equivalents, there is always the option to use Wine as a compatibility layer for the application. Wine is the acronym(recursive) for "Wine Is Not an Emulator". Note that Wine is not an application you run. Wine enables your computer to run Windows applications.

Detailed instructions for installing Wine on Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10 can be found in the following link.
