muahahahaha! didn't you see that was our plan all along? Browse around winehq.org, and the beta pages at http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-0.9-TODO.html. Or, just try to run your favorite programs and debug the problems you encounter. You will find many opportunities for "repayment". > As much as it pains me to ask, has anyone tried installing VMWare > v3.x (either the Linux or Windows version) into Red Hat v8.0?

OTOH, it's a useful tool for a wine developer (not to mention a VS/.net developer), so no flames from me. I've used various VMWare's throughout the years, on both Windows and Linux, and the bottom line is that they work. The performance hit is quite noticeable, and the RAM and disk requirements are downright ridiculous, sometimes, but they work. I wouldn't worry about compatibility problems, just resource limitations. VMWare for Windows under Linux via Wine sounds like a lost cause to me. There are drivers, and super-low-level games and trickery involved, which pretty much rules out the wine option. RTFMing and Google are sufficient to solve most VMWare problems. -- gmt "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
