aztec13,
Thank you for posting this, as I'm sure it will be helpful.
I have had many problems getting Wine to run on my Ubuntu Linux machine... after much trial and tribulation, I am still not sure why I have such trouble with it, especially since I have a newer computer that should run it just fine.
I did get one small program to run on Wine, but pretty much nothing else I've tried since has worked. I have not gotten to know Wine inside and out, so I'm sure it's not Wine that is the problem, but rather my lack of putting in enough time to figure out how it works amongst various programs. :roll:
My dirty secret: I keep an old, slacker Winbox around, just for the purpose of using iTunes, and for converting videos to AMV for my Nano clone player.
