A Note about installing Wine on Linux/Unix distributions:

When wine is installed on Linux (my case was that I use a Live CD environment w/1GB RAM), the Wine HQ binary download webpage link below contains links to different binary download procedures for each different Linux distribution:

Ubuntu (8.04, 8.10),

Debian (Etch 4.0, Lenny 5.0),

FreeBSD (5.3 or later),

Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora (binary and source .rpms for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5; CentOS 4, 5; Fedora Core 5, 6; Fedora Linux 7 and compatible distributions. The wine meta package is available via yum through the EPEL / Fedora Extras / Fedora repository by running $ yum install wine "),

SUSE (release binary and source .rpms and daily snapshot RPMs for openSUSE 10.3, 11.0, 11.1 and SLES 9 and SLE 10.
Old package versions available on SourceForge),

Mandriva (binary .rpms for Mandriva Linux 2006, 2007, and 2008. Download the 2008.1 package if your Mandriva is a 2008.1 release, eg. 2008 Spring. Download the 2008.0 package if your Mandriva is the first 2008 release.),

Slackware (binary .tgz for Slackware 10.2),

PC-BSD binary packages .pbi for PC-BSD (FreeBSD based OS),

Sun Solaris (Solaris binary and source for Solaris 10 and 11),

Windows (binary .zips).

Follow the instructions at the links for the above distributions from the Wine Binary Downloads.

If you installed Wine from any other source, it may not work as well as any of the above.

In my case, I could not run TrueSwitch to transfer my Email/folders and contents when I changed ISPs recently, but when I installed Wine as I recommend above - TrueSwitch worked for me on Wine (with some help from the TrueSwitch folks).
