Re:wine isn't that great (Score 1)

That's not really true. I am a high school teacher, and I use Xubuntu on my laptop. I use Wine for a few programs I need to use that are Windows-only, and for which there is no practical equivalent for Linux. Gradekeeper, Palm eReader, and a couple test generator programs, for example, work just perfectly under Wine with no tweaking at all. I've also installed and played Duke Nukem 3D (I know, I know), and Quake II with no problems whatsoever.
