I have created a new user on my Ubuntu Linux at which I am the root. My root account has access to Wine, I want to use Wine from my newly created account without having to install it again.
I have created this account because the program which I need Wine to run uses .NET 2.0 which works only on 32-bit systems, mine is 64-bit. From what I have read in this guide, I either have to run the command with a different prefix or delete my .wine directory, and since I don't know the meaning of prefix in that context and I don't want to delete my .wine directory because I use Wine to run other programs, I thought to create a new user and use it to run Wine on 32-bit architecture.

. I assume that by "root account" here you actually refer to the administrator account created during Ubuntu installation, which is a regular user account withsudo
rights. If not, you really shouldn't be running Wine under the actual root account. – Thomas Nyman Sep 23 '14 at 8:28sudo su
. You don't seem to be doing anything wrong, I'm justing pointing out the fact that the administrator account and root account are different things. – Thomas Nyman Sep 23 '14 at 8:41
