Hi List
 
Our Corporate IT department have acquired the Novell Linux Desktop
which is based on Suse 9.0 with a Gnome Desktop for evaluation with a
view to moving some users off the Microsoft Operating Systems.
 
I have identified that we need to be able to run Foxcae and the
Aim*Historian management tools in order to move away from the Microsoft
OS that we are currently using.
 
The proposal is to run these applications with "wine" on linux or with
a utility such as "win4lin".
 
Can this work? Has this been before?
 
Regards
