[Wine] Re: Can Wine be installed in a web server to run a Windows appl?

http://www.jcraft.com/weirdx/  jpsotta  This is not really web based.

It uses webbased to provide a X11 server that connects to a Linux server by ssh.  Ie normal system wide secuirty.

Integrating into web sites is a messy process.  Always remember Wine is not light you don't normally run it on production web servers due to increasing risk of Denial of Service  due to load.  Same applied to running virtual machines running XP.

Hosting windows applications or native X11 applications on a webserver should be the very last thing you think about doing.   All other options should be explored first.  Javascript applications can do a lot way lighter.  Ie client machines can do some of the processing.   This is important for you poor server.
