   As a Debian user I'm not very familiar with the best places to pick
up a Wine rpm. But there's at least the CodeWeavers Wine Preview:
   http://www.codeweavers.com/technology/wine/
   Otherwise there's a list of places from which you can download Wine
listed on the WineHQ site:

   Personally I always get it from CVS:

   That would be cool. It's also on my todo list except I certainly
won't get to it in the next 6 months :-(

    Hmmm, not really. Check out the Winelib User Guide. It's getting
outdated but can still be useful. And ask questions if you get lost!

 The greatest programming project of all took six days; on the seventh day the
