I am a Peace Corps volunteer in Chadiza, Zambia and I am in somewhat of a predicament which is that my windows operating system crashed.  Fortunately I had a CD ISO of Fedora 10 I installed onto some flash drives, however I need to use my cell phone to access the internet and the software to do this is only available via an .exe program.  Therefore I have a questions two, the first of which is does Fedora 10 come with any version of wine or other .exe emulators (alright I know wine is not considered an emulator) and if so how do you use it to install programs.  The second is, how does one downloads a compiled binary of wine for Fedora and is it possible to do this using a windows system.  I would do more searching and try downloading more things however currently the only way I can do this is to use a pay-by-minute computer lab where the speed is very low.  I don’t know Linux at all so step by step instructions from the very beginning would be much appreciated.  Thanks for any help you can give.
