1. Is there any way to download Wine for Ubuntu/Debian as a file, as in I don't have to download it from the pc i want to install it to? I want to transfer it via psp and i don't see an option to download the package as a .deb or anything at winehq.

2. Is wine, for sure, the best emulator? And is winex/cedega just an optimized wine made to run games better, or is wine uncapable of running most windows games, and is it a completely different program altogether? I really don't want to pay for that s**t...

3. Is there anything that some emulators can do that others can't? Or is there one thats flat out the best at emulating everything windows?

4. Is there any specific types of windows programs [ex. cd burners, lan utilities, hardware installers] that emulators cant run?

5. Should I even bother getting a Mac emulator? Have you found that some programs made for windows and mac are only able to be emulated on the mac emulator?

6. Do you have to set perimeters for the emulator to emulate certain types of programs? Sorry, I haven't used any of the emulators yet.

Sorry for asking so many questions, I really don't like windows but I'm afraid that I wont be able to run some of my windows programs on linux. Any answers to any of these questions will be greatly appreciated!

Wine isn't an emulator, read their web site.

1. Look in the Ubuntu repositories, I don't use that distro so you'll need to find it yourself.

2. Wine isn't an emulator so it can't be the best at something it doesn't do. VMWare is an emulator, you can install Windows in that emulator if you want. Cedega is a fork of Wine, Wine isn't capable of running most Windows games, if you don't want to pay for Cedega either don't play games or dual-boot.

3. If we're talking about actual emulators here, then VMWare is the best. Like most good things though, it's not free.

4. If you're using linux why do you want to use so many Windows apps? Windows apps are for Windows, linux apps are for linux.

5. Why would you want a Mac emulator in the first place? Do you have a legal copy of OS X around somewhere do you?

6. In Wine, yes. It's all in ~/.wine/config and it comes with parameters set up for a lot of programs already.

Linux has native apps that can take the place of almost all Windows apps, why bother going to the effort to drop Windows only to continue to use it's software under linux? Crazy talk...

http://www.winehq.com/site/download and scroll down till you see the word "Ubuntu". At this point you must follow the links.

Seriously, if you're having that much trouble clicking on "downloads" and scrolling down, you will get nowhere with Wine.
