Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

Wine Is Not an Emulator. It's a layer that interprets Windows system calls and translates them to Linux system calls. This means that SOME Windows software can run on Linux. Not all. Some.

Windows being proprietary and closed source means that they don't know everything and thus not all software works.

The end result is effectively the same as an emulator, except it's not an emulator as it doesn't emulate Windows. It just interprets and changes the system calls to those of Linux. An emulator emulates the desired operating system (such as the various emulators for X Box or Playstations or even DOSBOX that emulates the old DOS systems).
