WinUAE under WINE on Linux?

[mingle]

Hi,

I'm tinkering with Linux at the moment (Ubuntu 8.04) and since the Linux version of UAE is a bit lacking, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck running WinUAE under the WINE Windows emulator?

Cheers,

Mike.

Ah ha! The Wine App DB - something else I didn't know about!

I've just reinstalled Ubuntu since my Wine install did something nasty to the stability of the system!

I have to say that my Linux attempts (this is my 3rd foray) always result in a system that's far less stable and much trickier to configure than my trusty WinXP Pro install - 5 years and still going strong without a SINGLE lock-up or crash!

Cheers,

Mike.

Home user, eh?

Actually I'm in IT and am far from some simple non-techie - although I never refer to myself as a 'nerd'!

I'd say OSX (10.4.11 was the one I was using) is far more suited to the 'home user'/consumer than any other OS. I never liked OSX and sold sold my Mac a few months ago.

Linux has great potential and feels more 'Amiga-like' than any other mainstream OS at the moment. The community around it is awesome. However it is still somewhat painful and irritating to get running exactly the way I want.

I've always found XP Pro to be rock-solid and never understand what people do to make it run so badly on their systems. Sure I have to run a virus scanner, but apart from that it's been great. It also has by far and away the biggest range of software - which is why I was trying Wine on my Ubuntu install.

I'd love to be able to run some of my VSTis (Korg Legacy, Kontakt, etc) on Linux, but I suspect if WinUAE is causing probs I've NO chance with them!

Cheers,

Mike.
