Relic2K Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) Anyone tried installing "SuSE: Wine Rack" on Mandrake 9.2 ?? It looks pretty sweet, and may save the hassell of downloading and compiling everything manually. Please let me know about anyone having any experiences with it ?? http://www.suse.de/en/private/products/sus...linux/winerack/ Edited February 1, 2004 by Relic2K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowFoxLSU Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Relic2K, It looks interesting, but doesnt really bring anything to the table. unless it installed the software for me and ran perfectly everytime, I dont think it is worth it.

Darkelve Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 (edited) I sent a customer request, by mail, to the SuSe presales people. You can find more information in this thread: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?sho...topic=12952&hl= Basically, Wine rack packages three products from 2 companies: A ) Codeweavers 1. Crossover Office: for M$ productivity applications 2. Crossover Plugin: for those pesky proprietary browser-plugins (windows media, quicktime, ...) B ) Transgaming 1. WineX and Point2Play (bundled, I believe) You could get a discount on getting both Crossover OFfice and plug-in, I think, because they are the same company. The nice thing about WineRack was that it allowed you to but all three products (in SuSe RPM format) at a discount. I say WAS, since they don't seem to sell it any longer (see the thread above).

null Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I was looking to install wine rack on one of the new 2.6 distros, but in another thread Darkelve's answer from suse says that wine rack isn't available anymore. Anyway, all I want to do is run Quicken while in linux, and also the browser plugins for IE would be nice to have while browsing under linux - I can't listen to any song samples while browsing with mozilla. Probably can fix, but haven't messed with it. I don't care about MS productivity applications such as Office - OOo is ok with me. So I would just need just winex * crossover plugin ? Are those a hassle to install & get working ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
