And well, genesis emulators, I suppose you could always try and use an emulator written specifically for linux. A quick google found this, http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_3509.html I Don't know the status on it, but I'm sure with more googling, you'll find a better approach than using WINE. And actually, I've forgotton how to use wine to be honst. At the time, if I needed to use a windows app that wasn't supported by WINE, I would just reboot back into vista. I also reccommend, if you have a fast enough computer, try out virtual box. http://www.virtualbox.org You can install windows and un it alongside linux at the same time..supposedly. Im running XP within Vista as I type right now. umm apparently the newest ubuntu , ubuntu 8.10 has better support for wireless cards.

The only problem i had was WINE crashing whenever i tried to use a game emulator ie. sega genesis emulator... but asides from that the only trouble is wireless cards. ubuntu only has a limited support of wireless cars and that really ticked me off, i spent several hours finding the right way to configure mine. xD *endrant anyway, im running the same dualboot as you... also, how do you use wine to open something from the windows installation? do you just use the actual windows directory or do you need to do something special?
