Does Cygwin work like wine? No.
Does it provide a compatibility layer inside a foreign OS? Yes.
Wine can run Windows executables on Linux, but Cygwin cannot run Linux executables on Windows. Instead, Linux programs have to be compiled specifically for Cygwin, whereby the aim of the Cygwin project is to make that as straightforward as possible, i.e. it's ...

They are not the same, no. VirtualBox is a "virtual machine", which means that it create a system where the software inside thinks it is on a real piece of hardware; VirtualBox can run Windows, MacOSX, Linux, SunOS (for x86), etc. It would be a operating system once you start and then you would need to install the applications you desire to run. With ...

I guess you meant to launch exe programs with wine directly, so tell kernel to run win32 binaries with wine by,
Mount binfmt fs, add a line none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc defaults 0 0 to /etc/fstab and execute mount -a afterwards
echo ':DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register to register the binary format
So ...

I had that problem too some months ago, and I remember I had to delete some .desktop files that were inside the $HOME/.local/share/applications folder.
I think you should delete any file that has notepad as part of its name, and also you should try to delete (or move somewhere else) the files wine-extension-*.

You can't: Wine only accesses the networking functionality from Linux.
You should mount your Windows shares using mount, then instruct Wine (using winecfg) to assign a drive letter for them.
The ping command is part of standard Linux install.

Just a small update, wine 1.4 is nowadays available in the sid repository - just run apt-get update and apt-get install wine.
Original answer:
Wine 1.4-0.1 is in the experimental repository. Just add it to your sources.list, run apt-get update and you should be able to install it.
Have a look at How to see package version without install? which shows ...

The flash plugin you have installed is the Linux one. The Safari browser you are running is inside of a windows-look-alike environment bubble, and would need a windows version of the flash plugin installed inside the same environment. I don't think Flash under WINE will help you much with Safari. It is listed with "Bronze" level support on the WineHQ site ...

If you had the name of the game, we could look at Wine's AppDB to see the current status of compatibility for the game. But chances are you're stuck with the ugly polygons.
Wine is really hit or miss. The quality of a game/application in wine completely depends on how much time the community has/wants to put into making it work. Seeing as this is an old ...

The idea is to set LANG only for this application.
If you start the application from the command line, write something like alias yourapp="export LANG=ru_RU.utf8 /usr/bin/yourapp" in ~/.bashrc.
If you start the application with a GUI button, you can edit the corresponding desktop file, i.e. open ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/yourapp.desktop in a ...

Wine is a wild beast.
I checked the WineHQ page for your game, and the latest Gold rating was on Ubuntu 10.10 (not 11.04). However, a user was posting some issues with DirectX as well. It seems like you're given the option to install DirectX 9 during the installation of the game? What did you select?
As per the link in the user's post, I would read this ...

GIMP doesn't support the full set of features which Photoshop supports; namely, layer effects (blurs, shades etc...) aren't supported, this is why you lose those.
KVM should work, but using VirtualBox is easier, doesn't require Samba configuration (you can just use shared folders) and works equally well.
Wine has problems running recent Photoshop ...

The packages you are getting the warnings about do not exist in the standard CentOS yum repo. You will need some 3rd party repos. You will want to be careful when adding new repo's, the good repo vendors ensure packages do not break each other, however there is some sloppy repo's out there.
I recommend checking Elrepo and RPMforge repos first for the ...

Make sure wine is in your path and create a shell script containing the following:
#!/bin/sh
wine "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/TextAloud/TextAloudMP3.exe"
Give yourself permission to execute the script by running chmod u+x SCRIPT_NAME.
Then, just run that script from your file manager. It will start wine, which will run TextAloudMP3.exe.

This is because you don't have a X server running on that machine: Wine requires one even for command-line-only software.
Since DivFix++ is a command-line-only application, install Xvfb (xorg-x11-server-Xvfb package I think; search xvfb on yum):
Xvfb or X virtual framebuffer is an X11 server that performs all graphical operations in memory, not showing ...

Thanks to help on the Linux Mint forum, a workable solution has been found.
That solution is to install Photoshop using playonlinux. I don't exactly know what playonlinux does to make Wine work better, but it seems to do the trick.
I uninstalled Photoshop first, installed playonlinux in Synaptic, and then re-installed Photoshop by opening playonlinx and ...

First, a link for Debian Based Distributions suitable for old computers.
Desktop: The GUI will take up quite some of your resources in RAM. The Window Managers I got lucky with while working on an old machine and a Netbook are XFCE, prefering LXDE and am currently very happy with Openbox.
Suggestions: I would suggest to get a live image of Crunchbang Linux ...

Try a minimal Debian installation, with LXDE or XFCE as desktop environment. Probably the oldest supported stable version will be the most frugal in resource usage. On that install just what you need, and check the configuration so that there isn't anything unneded running. If you have stock Debian elsewhere, having some derivative will be familiar enough to ...

For CentOS 5, the fluxbox package was available in the RPMForge repo. But the CentOS 6 version of the RPMForge repo does not currently include fluxbox.
The EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repo for CentOS 6 does include fluxbox.
rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
yum install fluxbox

At a glance, it appears to be the path you are giving wine (disclaimer: I have no clue at all about the way that Openbox parses menu.xml).
You currently have:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Rosetta\ Stone/Rosetta\ Stone\ Version\ 3/RosettaStoneVersion3.exe
Note the three spaces between "Version" and "3". If there are truly three spaces, you want:

WINE_PREFIXES can control the first part of the WINEPREFIX used... To keep it from creating subdirectories, use WINETRICKS_OPT_SHAREDPREFIX=1
So:
WINETRICKS_OPT_SHAREDPREFIX=1 winetricks bleh
Looks like that variable is also set by the --no-isolate option to winetricks.

Wine is already available as a package for Ubuntu. You should even be able to click this button to install it if you're viewing this page in the default Ubuntu browser.
In general, to install software on Ubuntu, use the Synaptic package manager (launched from the System > Administration) menu. Search for the package named wine, mark it for installation, ...

If you have access to a Windows system running GrindHQ, check its oleaut32.dll version, and compare with the one in your wine system. If they're the same, diff the files to double-check.
If the files are different, try copying the one from the working windows install.
This may or may not work, and may or may not fix the issue, but the error sounds pretty ...

WineHQ's appDB doesn't have any information regarding GrindHQ. On top of that, the developer's site mentions:
Some of our customers report of successful launches under Linux+Wine,
but GrindEQ does not provide technical support for Linux.
In other words, it won't be easy and it will depend entirely on what version of Wine you're running, what DLLs you ...

I don't know about Wine, but you could use Attic Manager. It can load Quicken IDB file directly, and you can then either export it to CSV or keep using Attic Manager (it fits my needs just fine) to keep track of your inventory.
It is a native Linux application.

There is a z: drive which is the Linux file system. Also you can define drives that point to any folder for which you have access.
If you want to confine programs running in Wine to parts of the filesystem, remove the z: drive and declare drives just for the parts that you want to make accessible. You can do this from the “Configure Wine” entry in the Wine ...

There is nothing that will provide you guarantees that you won't copy a "partial write" (from your application's point of view) in all cases, short of either:
collaboration with that other process (i.e. a method for you to tell it to flush and stop/restart its writes)
using a "real" transactional (database) system that allows you to take consistent ...

Modify /usr/share/applications/wine-notepad.desktop, adding the line:
Hidden=true
There is a bit more information about what that does here. Alternatively, you could probably just delete that file instead.

There is a 3rd-party repository named RPMForge which has a large number of packages which are not available officially from CentOS. This page has instructions on how to install it on various CentOS releases.
About that chmod thing, can you reinstall yum. I'm not sure if it will help, but I expect that it will restore the directory to its initial permission ...
