#44 WINE-based suite

[David Cuny]

How about a mini-distribution based on packages that
are capable of actually running Windows binaries?
Something along the lines of what Lindows had promised
to be, but wasn't:

- WINE (http://www.winhq.org)
- .NET (http://www.go-mono.org/)
- WinXP Desktop (http://www.xpde.com/index.php)

I don't know what software you could load on in by
default - probably not IE or Outlook Express - but it
would certainly be a different distribution:

wine minimodule is available, so at least a part of this has
been done. Might be my fanatic free software religion, but
i'm slightly weary of .NET. XPDE would be nice, but it isn't
in sid and it's somewhat a disappointment imo, although it
does have some nice GUI's in there...

This could be an initial stept to use Linux ( it would have links
to FAQs for former windows users and to Linux emulators for
Windows too).
