Thread: Problem with wine

I own a Dell Dimension 4600 w/ 2. 6 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, and I have tried to use Wine on each chief Linux distro with no luck. Is there somewhat about this machine I don't know? I am trying to use my Logitech program so I can make use of my webcam under Linux, but Wine won't even start up on it, can someone tell me what's up with this?

No Wine for Dell Ubuntu Users, Says Shuttleworth

Mark Shuttleworth told eWeek in a May 3rd interview that Dell will not consist of open-source applications for example Wine with the PCs it strategy to package with Ubuntu Linux. Says Shuttleworth: 'I do not want to point Ubuntu as well as Linux as a cheap option to Windows. While Linux is a choice to Windows, it is not economical Windows. Linux has its own power, plus users should want it because of those strengths and not because it's a cheap copy of Windows. Frequently we make out proprietary software corporations just totally fail to realize not only the motivations of the Linux community, but also the processes. It's very sensible, there's a way to get things done, and it's diverse. The VMware guys have actually engaged with us totally and worked to the agenda set by the Linux group of people, which is not an ideological program but a sensible one.' Does that mean Wine won't even be scheduled in the package manager?"
