I am using the version of wine that came with RedHat 7.2. I just noticed that Codeweavers has their own distribution of wine that includes what looks like a convenient setup configuration utility. What are the pros and cons of uninstalling what I got from RedHat and downloading and installing the rpm from Codeweavers? Thanks
Codeweavers doesn't have OpenGL support in this version but that may not be an issue. Codeweavers is probably newer then the one that came with RH> F.

If you're kind of new to wine it's a big help. However, RedHat probably has a newer version of Wine in its distribution. I'd say that if you have Wine configured and running well then leave it alone until Codeweavers comes out with a newer version.

Go get the latest, most up-to-date source tarball from www.winehq.com instead (a new one was released only a few days ago). It will of course take a bit more effort on your part in installing and configuring, but I can assure you that it works fine for me, and will support your OpenGL fine.
