This is not in the FAQ, but since different apps run better depending on wine version, and I just have a case I would like to try, is it possible to do it? I don't want to mess up my system with experiences so, with ubuntu, what would one have to do?

Wine doesn't have to be installed to run, and running the different versions from the directories you compiled them in would be the easiest way. If you really want to install the different versions, search the forum for how to do that. This question has come up before.

[Wine] Re: ~FAQ: parallel install of multiple wine versions
hi there, there is a much easier way to do it, go grab yourself PlayOnLinux http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ it is a program that allows you to install and run any program you want in any wineprefix you want. It has some scripts done already for some applications / games if you are lucky. You can have as many wine versions you want (it just downloads it for you) from 0.9.9 to 1.1.16 at the time of writting and change wine versions on the fly for a program (you may have to delete the windows and prefeerence files just to be sure, no need to reinstall) It keeps everything tidy inside its own directory (user/.playonlinux)
