In Unbuntu 9.10 synaptic package manager, why are wine1.2 and wine listed separately in such a way that one or the other can be installed but not both? Both indicate newest version is 1.1.38. What is different between them and how should I choose? Thanks,

While 1.2 gets you the development release. John
And not only that, but if you try 1.2, you find that Wine-doors won't install, citing a dependecy on 1.0. But having tried 1.2, synpatic won't let you go back to 1.0! What to do?
I used Wine Doors today to install IE6. I've had better results with PCLinuxOS than I did with Linux Mint. I'm presently enrolled in college online; but the college only provide technical support for MAC and Microsoft. I finally got IE6 installed and running. I'm so pleased as spring quarter started three days ago.
