After installing run this in a terminal: winecfg
Just make sure ALSA is selected Sound in the config and it is using XP.

FrontPage - The Official Wine Wiki
WineHQ - Wine Application Database

Install apps with this from a terminal:

wine ./Setup.exe
(where Setup.exe is the name of the installer)

You can make nice shortcut icons for your windows applications in KDE/Gnome too.
In KDE:

  • rightclick in your Desktop Folder and choose ‘Create New…’
  • choose ‘Link to application…’
  • :idea:if you have more Desktops, you maybe have a problem now: you’re panel maybe is frozen and you cannot edit you’re new shortcut. Enter <ctrl><Esc> and a system activity window appears. Find your shortcut process, it is called ‘plasma-desktop’ and rightclick on it. Choose ‘show application window’ and you’ll find your shortcut again.
  • choose Application tab.
  • fill on Command line: wine yourprogram.exe
  • fill on Work path line: /place/anotherplace/ (most installed programs by wine you find in your home directory under .wine). If you have a program you don’t have to install place it in /opt
  • in fact you’re done now, you can press Ok and check it out.
  • but maybe you like a nice icon, so choose General tab.
  • click in ? picture
  • choose a system icon or better, choose Other icons and browse to your application folder. Most of time you’ll find a nice icon to use there.
  • have fun…
