So then how does wine work on i386/Netbsd? Because my laptop has only 2G RAM, I might well switch to i386 if that gives me reasonable Win support. I am going to need it mainly to run MS Office (unfortunately) and Chrome. Would Wine/i386 run native 64 bit Windows programs? And what files can I back up and bring over to i386/Netbsd apart from /home ? Thanks -- Ottavio
