I haven’t tried the PCLINUXOS yet. But you have provoked my interest :-) Did you know there is an open source project that allows you to run windows programs on “ix” OS. I guess its just a shell of some sort.

I’ve never tried it as im pretty busy guy, but here is a link if you care to try it out.

There is also an opensource Windows rip-off (xp/2003). Same story, haven’t tried it yet but here is some info.

Thanks. I do run WINE, and as Linux Bible programs are not as good as those available for Windows, i use WINE to run TheWord software, which is does well, But it is hit and miss with other apps.
