smallest 'wine' utility?

[LintonHanes]

I'm looking for the smallest distro that runs wine...

slax kill bill is just too old, and g:micro looked really promising but never made it to stable 3.0 status

I'm talking about something to use on machines with only 256mb of ram and the sort yaknow?

Try Debian stable, unless you need bleeding edge. Then try Debian Sid. On either use something light like openbox, and only install minimal X and Wine packages.

Designed to be light? Perhaps try Puppy Linux. Wine can probably run on it, try the forums.

DamnSmall Linux I think is Debian based. It uses a 2.4 kernel and that is light.

Notepad. That is the smallest 'wine' utility.

If you are already familiar with ubuntu, you could install from the minimal disk and then install a lightweight window manager using apt-get.

I will install spider.exe, sol.exe, and notepad.exe right now!

(I'll even try out high-logic fontcreator,.. "yes! it works great!")

Damn small linux is just about the smallest linux distro you can get. Install wine on it.

You also might want to look at ReactOS, which isn't a Linux distro, but an open source Windows clone.
