Richard-BKK Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hello people, A lot of people ask me I have Linux running, but I need programs to do what I want. Therefore maybe we can make a topic on how to get it and make it work.... Many people have still "older" Windows programs they want to run, what programs are that and what do we do to make it work?

I could go on and on, just look in the program menu, there is all you need and for the "nostalgic" of widows, there is still wine and wineX so, you may run quite a lot of programs from windows, but you need to have them install on a windows partition, so why choosing Linux? francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
