Re: [Win4Lin-users] OT: uses for win4lin - saw: win4lin 3.0 upgrade brouhaha

[yan seiner]

I don't look at win4lin as a transition tool.  I use a number of
programs that are not likely to ever be ported to linux, and I need the
linux network functionality, so win4lin for me is a permanent tool.

So my question is: what is the easiest way to get win4lin on a desktop? 
and my answer is: dump the distro kernel, use the kernel.org kernel. 
Most of the distro kernel mods are for things like file systems (raid
and reiserfs) or multimedia stuff, neither of which I need on a
production workstation.

I still keep all of the RH niceties, without the sometimes funky
behavior of patched kernels.  After RH's glibc fiasco, I'm not sure I'd
trust one of their kernels anyway ;-)
