I understand there is only WTS 3 right now and that a new server product is in beta.

I always thought Pro was only a client and that the WTS was a separate product. I don't think PRO can be both. It CAN be a WTS client. Anyway, I don't use either, so what do I know? :) snip... > Actually, I thought the version of Win4Lin in Portage was the Pro > product (bad assumption on my part) as the package description doesn't > indicate whether it's Pro or Home. This is unclear. The 5.1.1 in portage I _think_ is the PRE 9X win4lin versions. I don't think those packages are maintained anymore since for a LONG time the kernel patches were absent. Then, the unofficial patcher "pickledonion" abandoned W4L and shut down his web page. Beginning in September, after MUCH prodding, W4L Inc. started to try and roll out kernel patches again. However, by then, it was too late for many, like myself, who left them. You might consider posting a bug report to see if the maintainers for the Win4Lin ebuild would consider upgrading the ebuild (although I _think_ I read somewhere that W4L 9X is really the same old W4L with a different name). However, note, there are still problems with the kernel patches, so I am not sure the maintainers will take up the challenge as long as the product can't work. Good luck. -- [email protected] mailing list
