I just don't have time for that. I successfully set up AutoCad 2000 on (Gentoo) wine in 2004. It still runs well with the upgrades to wine, over the years.... However, it was a TIME SINK and I do not even feel like I know wine all that well....

Do you, or anyone else have a a wiki or reading materials so I can read up more on this approach, as opposed to hacking until I think it's ready? I've mostly avoided windows over the years. My "professional retirement investment advisers <big name> are really stupid and manipulative. My stock picks out perform theirs hands down.
