Great ! a couple of the guys from our linux user group are talking about
CW's wine and as they are experimenting with WineHQ, the installation is
always a big issue (for those who work kind of all day don't want to spend
much time figuring out the installation procedure). Yes, they should read
the README but ...

I'm continuing testing those of the top-10 most popular software from the
download archives sites, and will post soon the results.
