Hello guys i'm a new asus eee user,you know the small umpc running the Xadnros OS,and since its not alla that bad i'm thinking of sticking to it instead of installing windwos XP.I do need though to run some windows apps,so i heard that wine should be my weapon of choice for this purpose! So anyway i'm not familiar with linux-like setup procedures so i followed a guide on the net for installing wine via repositories. I added the repositories informations and chose to install wine,and after completion i cant get wine to run. I call from the console sudo winecfg and i get a segmentation error.I then tried executing an .exe file,but i get the which app to use dialog,and wine was nowhere to be found. What now guys.Can i plz get some help,to resolve this matter? Thanx in advance,looking forward to a solution. 8)

Double clicking on an .exe doesnt work for me.I hav even opened with and selected the wine as the default app but every time i have to execute the exes i select open with and then type wine. Anyway other than that i managed to install a freeware cad app,but i could get vlc running and a couple of portable applications.BTW is there a way to configure portable apps in a way that allows them to run as well?
