Running Windows Software on Eee PC using Wine
3 Comments Published February 14th, 2008 in Linux, eeepcIf you really need to run a bit of windows software, then sometimes a nifty project called WINE can come to the rescue. WINE allows Windows software to run on a Linux operating system. It doesn’t always work, and obviously space is limited on the Eee PC’s memory, but it can be done. Here’s a screenshot of Graph (GPL Software, in case the IT boys were wondering) running using WINE:

Also, Wine is important because it gives vendors a way to do quick, cheap Linux ports.
Good point Tom. The Linux version of Picasa that I installed on the Eee pc had a Wine directory if I remember correctly.
Hi Robert,
i’ve found ies4osx a useful tool for checking html on IE from my mac, runs on darwine and is based on ies4linux.
I hope to see an Eee next week at teachMeet.
