[Wine] Re: I'm new to linux and I need help

[DanKegel]

Instead of 
  wine start 'SporeApp.exe'
you can just do
  wine SporeApp

Spore looks kind of tricky to run, see

Oblivion looks a bit tricky, too, see

Being new to Wine, you should probably start with some app
that's rated Platinum in the appdb before tackling less well polished ones.
