Contrary to most who post to this list, I am not running Windows based games on my Linux OS. I have wine 1.2.1 running on my *ubuntu 10.10 system out of directory /usr/bin. I also had a newer version (probably 1.2.2) installed in another (unknown) directory. After reading <wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/tips-n-tricks/a-guide-to-wine-on-ubuntu-for-beginners.html> I performed the following command: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine This appeared to uninstall wine however trying when I tried "wine --version" my system found wine which reported version 1.2.1 still. I then performed these commnds: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine This looked like it installed wine 1.2.2 but "wine --version" still reports version 1.2.1 and running one of my Windows applications and running command "ps ax | grep wine" shows wineserver running from /usr/bin. What do I need to do to replace version 1.2.1 of wine with a newer, properly installed, version and retain my ability to run my two most important Windows applications -- Pegasus Mail and E-Sword? What I'd really like to try is the latest 1.3.x version of wine. -- Jim
