The default is to install to /home/CURRENT_USER/.wine so I'm wondering, as long as the LINUX users are in the same group, can I relocate the .wine dir to say, /home/share/.wine and update the wineconfig?  I just started using LINUX seriously so I'm pretty new at it.

You can't share WINEPREFIX (defaule is ~/.wine) between users. Each user have to have it's own. This means all users will have their own registry.

You can share everything else ("fake c:" drive). But if multiple users will try to update the same file it will get corrupted.
