Hiya Geoff! Are you looking to actually run those programs, or just for equivelant solutions for those uses? If it's the later, I'd strongly suggest checking out Evolution for Email & PIM (palm) functions. http://www.ximian.com/products/evolution/ And you could convert your old Eurdora email file to evolution format with http://freshmeat.net/projects/ceiconvert/?topic_id=28%2C87 A native app will usually be a lot nicer to use, than emulating a windows app. If you absolutely need THOSE apps, you can try wine, which works with some apps, mileage may vary. Or you can use VMWare which will actually emulate an entire computer and let you install windows on that emulated computer. (VMWare is commercial software). There's other options, but those are the 2 that stick out in my mind. Now ... I know nothing about HAM radio, so I'll just say that if you really need to run those specific windows apps, you might have a hard time since (I'm assuming) they somehow talk to the funky hardware. But there are some native apps out there... http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=HAM+radio§ion=projects&x=0&y=0 Just a few thoughts. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Geoff Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 1:39 AM To: wlug@mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] I need to run some win apps Hi, I need to run a few windows applications on Linux. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. The programs are: Palm Desktop 4.1 Eudora 5.2 And a couple of programs to programs 2 different ham radios. As for the linux setup. We'll have to wait and see the answer - I'm doing a fresh install on a new computer (will there be an install feast anytime soon?). I'm thinking Mandrake.

I'm still trying to find an equivalent for some of them. When it comes to E-mail migrating old msg's is the problem. Others are just what I'm use too :) I'll take a look at the links and play around some more before I do to much. I still need to do some minor upgrading before I switch so that Linux will be easier to install :) (Tim K. Don't worry this will be a basic client only install - for now :) ) We'll see this will probably take a month to get things rolling.
