RE: Linux Capabilities

Btw, 256Mb is ok for any distribution available. It shouldn't slow it down very much.
256 is not enough .. depends what Window Manager ur usin ,, a light one Maybe but a heavyone like KDE or Gnome you need more ,

Actually, it IS an emulator. The name is a joke

RE: Linux Capabilities
It's a bit more complex than an emulator, from what I've read, but it does the basic tasks of an emulator, that's true.

It isn't: it's a direct implementation of the Win32 API on Linux.
An emulator usually performs translations between alike functions. WINE goes one step further and implements the Win32 API as if it was part of a Unix system. This allows faster executable speed while not sacrificing compatibility.

I'm running SuSE Linux 9.2 fine with 256MB RAM, 2.53GHz Celeron on a Dell Poweredge SC420 Server.

RE: Linux Capabilities
Ubuntu does indeed rule. It's very user-friendly, and kicks SUSE 9.2's ass (that's my former OS). With the synaptic interface for apt-get it's easy to install a *lot* of stuff, and the "System" menu lets you setup virtually anything graphically. It looks really nice, and the desktop is very clean. Even the trash-bin is in your panel. The people at Canonical and the ubuntu community are very friendly, so that's another pro. I'm sticking with Ubuntu
edit: And the screensavers are cool! It takes a while to browse through them all and select the ones you like, but then you get real cool screensavers. You can select some, and have these used randomly. SUSE 9.2 could only do random of *all* screensavers, which basically sucked
