Your distro's wine package will not, in general be the latest available Wine version but, if the distro maintainers aren't asleep at the switch, this should be upgraded every few weeks. I have two RedHat Fedora releases installed because I play distro leapfrog on my two Linux boxes. The last time I explicitly installed Wine on either box was when I did a clean Linux install of the then-current distro. I run a yum upgrade every week, so what is shown below is a fair reflection of the Wine version in each of the Fedora repos: Fedora 13 wine-1.3.9 Fedora 14 wine-1.3.10 Wine latest wine-1.3.11 Martin
