My immediate trial is to install Irfanview to run in Ubuntu 8.10. But I did find the Wine which David so kindly explained. Looks like I'm installing ttf-liberation, winbind, wine and wine-gecko. I'm making detailed notes for family at http://www.sticksite.com/linux/ and like you, I expect this to keep me busy most of the winter.
