    Don't run any command with rm unless you know what you're doing. Read this for more information.
    Dialup or no internet on your Ubuntu box? Have no fear, Keryx is here! Keryx Project

    Wine is in the Ubuntu repositories. The Ubuntu package site that lists every package in the repositories lists is as available.
    http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/otherosfs/wine

    The Ubuntu wiki has instructions on installing VMware server to amd64

    Running the 32bit version on 64bit hardware is like buying a corvette and then pulling out 4 of the 8 spark plugs wires. Will the car run? Sure, maybe not to well. Will it give you all the performance it should? No.
