'Virtual' machines

[Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC)]

I have two machines connected into a 10/100MB switch. Would it currently
be possible to run a Windows application on its own box from SuSE Linux
using WINE?

Are you trying to say, that you have a Windows box and that you want it to
display on a Linux box?
You certainly can run Windows applications under WINE. You can also run
Windows and Linux on the same box using VMWare, Win4Lin, or other virtual
solutions.

You should be able to use tightvnc to do this.
Install on both the winyuk box and the linux machine.
Configure the winyuk machine as a server.
Another way of doing it is to use the inbuilt vnc server, its list on a
winXP thing as allow another user to help, or something like that.
If you use that facility you will neeed to run a virtual machine, VMWare
or Parallels. Win4lin will only let you run win98 or the later version
win2000, If you use the inbuilt vnc on winXP you need to talk to it from
another winXP machine either real or virtual.

IMO the simplest solution is to use tighnvc, install on both machines.

If I'm reading the question correctly, you're not looking for WINE...you're
looking for VNC or Remote Desktop -- something that will allow you to
connect to the Windows machine and start a program.

If that is the case, look into enabling Remote Desktop on the Windows box
(it's enabled by default on Windows Server, but disabled by default on
WinXP); or installing a VNC server (TightVNC -- http://www.tightvnc.org/ --
is one that I've used pretty regularly over the past few years)

No.  Wine is used to run Windows apps on the Linux box, not remote
systems.  You'd need to use VNC or other remote control app.

Though in theory you could mount C:\ over samba and run WINE using the
mounted Windows installation.

I've seen several messages from you, where you merely quote the original
message.  I've tried reading your mail in both Seamonkey and KMail.
Neither shows any original text from you.

That would not be running a Windows app on it's own box.  It's nothing
more than storing the executable on another computer and running it on
the Linux box.  That sort of thing has been common since the beginning
of file and print sharing.

This is the fellow who was trying to unsubscribe and my guess is that he is
now "mad at the list" and is trying to "get back at it".   :-)

Another user delegated to /dev/null. Six replies to emails and not one

Tnx James,

I keep getting confused/forgetting between WINE and VNC.
