Um, I don't think you mean Linspire, that's a distro, like SUSE, which
you've already got. AFAIK, it won't do much for you.

I think what you want is WINE, http://www.winehq.com/ which provides an
environment for Windows system calls to X-windows under Unix/Linux.
You just download the package, read the readme, and run the confgurator, and
Bob's your proverbial.

The good news is that OPro is almost usable under WINE, but there are a
number of annoyances which prevent it from being suitable as a production
environment.
