I have an ASUS eePC with the default linux installation (Xandros I believe). I would like to install wine to run a custom application. However, I can not figure out which version of wine to download. Will any of them work? If not which one should I use? Thanks for any and all help.

Check the compatibility list at http://codeweavers.com. I don't have any advice about which flavor of wine to try, sorry.

I was also able to install from source by piecing together dependencies from the debian repository. However, I do remember having problems with wine-gecko always crashing on launch with either way I installed wine. Aditionally, per Dan's comment, installing Crossover with the loki installer worked well too (I'd assume the deb package would work too).
