How To Run Windows Applications in Xandros

Hi Daniel,

To install Wine depends upon which version of Xandros you have. Most versions will have a program called "Xandros Networks" (XN) which is used to install new programs. There should be an icon for it on the desktop. Start XN and there should be a search text box near the upper right hand corner of it. Type wine in there and click Search and see if you find it.

It would be helpful to know which version of Xandros you are using, as I'm not sure that the Eee version of Xandros uses XN, it may use a program called Synaptic instead.
