TinyMe as a Windows 98 alternative - great potential
Hello developers and the community of the TinyMe.
I have a very important request how to expand TinyMe, I see a large future of this distribution. Please incorporate latest Wine into the default installation. The most difficult to move into the linux is that the default installations doesn't support the latest Wine by default. If I using apt-get to install Wine then I have already received an eralier version of the wine and not up-to date version of the wine. It's a pain to update wine manually. Is it possible to develope a lightweight distribution that already and always is supporting the latest wine out of the box? |

Re: TinyMe as a Windows 98 alternative - great potential
The latest Wine is packaged upstream at PCLinuxOS. Currently the PCLinuxOS repositories are frozen so they can be stablized for the next release. When they are unfrozen, I'm sure Thac will update Wine to the latest.
Wine is much too big to fit into a release. Please check the Release Announcement before reporting any issues! Please read the Usage Rules before posting! Check out the FAQ! ![[Image: 12212.png?skin_name=chrome]](http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/12212.png?skin_name=chrome)

Re: TinyMe as a Windows 98 alternative - great potential
I'm looking for a minimalist Linux distribution wit out-of-the-box latest WINE support. If someone will develope such a distribution this would have the competetive edge compared to other distributions.

Re: TinyMe as a Windows 98 alternative - great potential
Competitive edge? How so? Any distribution that has Wine is not going to be very small and thus is not exactly minimalist. And most people don't run Linux so they can run Windows programs.
To my knowledge, there is no such thing. In fact, I'm stretching to think of any Linux distribution that comes with Wine by default! (Maybe a couple of gamer distributions, but those are huge) Wine is very easily installed via Synaptic. Please check the Release Announcement before reporting any issues!
