[Wine] Re: Wine and sudo

Well, one of the reasons for that recommendations is that with root privileges a misbehaving application can damage your system. Also, Wine is at some points has "bug by bug" compatibility with Windows, which also raises security concerns.

It is more recommended to use a Unix equivalent of FAR in this scenario. There are quite a few really good orthodox file managers out there, like Midnight Commander or Krusader.
