xubuntu95wHello, does anyone know the best method to use a windows-orientated program under xubuntu?09:30
xubuntu95wIs Wine the best, or is there another, better possibility?09:41
xubuntu95wI mostly (about 99%) work with Xubuntu 14.04 LTS, but there are 1 or 2 programs which I use, which are only there under Windows.09:43
Meerkatxubuntu95w, what kind of programs? You may be able to run them better in a virtual machine. I do that for Hammer and some other applications.09:55
