Is there an E-UAE tutorial for dummies?

Sorry if this has been beaten ad-nauseum...

No it hasn't (IMHO).

...perhaps there is a good FAQ/tutorial somewhere?  ...

I run E-UAE (32-bit (note the need for 32-bit libraries on a 64 bit machine),
with JIT) on Ubuntu (from 8.04 to 10.04 currently).  It works fairly well.
I often have it running for several days at a time.  I think I'm still using

I'm not sure if there are easy links to that.

Let me scatter a few (pretty darn random) links:

I think his other pages are helpful too.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EUAEAmigaEmulator
Ubuntu focus, obviously; it is occasionally added to.

Don't see many references to this and I think it helped me out a
couple of years ago when I migrated from my beloved Amithlon.

The English Amiga Board  has good discussion of, and tutorials on,
Amiga emulators; more WinUAE than *nix versions.  Check the "other"
forum (http://eab.abime.net/forumdisplay.php?f=54)
GnoStiC's (Mustufa Tufan) PUAE looks very interesting.  I need to
find time to try it.

Hope this helps a little bit.

In order to make sure the JIT is using direct mode, it is also important to raise the maximum shared memory segment size (see /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax). By default, it is set to 32MB or something on my distro. I raised it to 256MB (268435456)

For some reason (arithmetic ineptitude) I have it at 272MB.  If your machine is primarily an EUAE box you could put a line like this in /etc/sysctl.conf:

kernel.shmmax=

Also, Karlos, thanks for the wine/WinUAE comments.  I got it booting, but didn't stick with it long enough to get my whole installation working.  Ah, time...
