Re: Newbie Questions

I use wine, but not with pxes. I assume you are using pxes to connect to
a XDM server. If I were to use it, I would probably install wine on the
XDM server since it would be the more powerful machine compared to the
thin clients, which by definition should be thin and not be running a
lot themselves.
