Hello , its the first time in my life but i have taken a rather radical decision and ditch windows, I am sick and tired of it n it corruption bla bla bla , well now i have some questions and problems please answer me in detail i have considerable linux experience [you may draw the line between me and a newbie that i have sucessfully compiled a kernel & I am using it. i have PCLINUX os
have tried Redhat 7.3 , Mandrake 8.0 ,. Suse 9.2 and UBUNTU 5.10 , Gnoppix , MEPIS , Arch linux
1) I have wine but it doesnot run any executible file of windows (even those files which i was successfullly ran on suse 9.2)
(i downloaded wine via apt-get)
2) Sometimes when i halt/ reboot my pc, it hangs at the black screen showing STOPPING DM --usually it shows ok and moves on on terminating and closing etc ohter things but sometimes literally pc HANGS , how and why ? it happens virtually 1 out of 8 halts/reboots (i halt from the quick run dialog in KDE or in from a terminal
--since this happend onlly with pclinux is it its bug or someting?
3) I had a rare programme that could convert DVDs to MPEG or AVI files is there a linux programme (i could not find)
4) I have dialup and so i install some programmes from suse9.2 dvd it has kinda 15-20 library rpms can i just give pc the task of automatically installing them without me clicking at each and every one of them? and since its a complete distribution , pc could search for dependencies on its own?

6)is it possible for wine or any other programme to stimulate a windows (operating system environment as a whole/???)
