Wine runs basic windows software, for more advanced software better go for Codeweavers Crossoffice,

or check the Wine program database, if ur prg wil work or not, they also contain instructions how to make it work.

Check out also Frank's Corner for some tutorials about getting Windows applications to run under Linux with Wine. I would say, stay away from Wine. It causes much more pain then it is worth. Get a native Linux program and use Wine when nothing else work (still, I should not use that)... Here is a handy table of equivalents Linux - Windows applications.

Good luck!

is there an equivalent for AOL???

What is AOL? Is it an instant messenger? Because Gaim supports it

. Did you check the table of equivalents?

i mean the dialet itself... well i guess it won't work because its not listed in the table of equivalent

maybe you dont need your aol browser, just use kppp to put in the phone number, username, and password, and it should work fine. but, i must confess, i dont have much experience with aol...

http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAOL.html should help.

Remember, not only is www.google.com your friend, www.google.com/linux could be an even better one.
