FreeBSD is an operating system, different from linux. You can install it on the same machine on a different partition, but not "under" linux (just as you can't run windows under linux or linux under windows). Wine can run under either Linux or FreeBSD. If you're interested in wine, and already have Corel Linux, probably you should stick with linux for now and contact a linux mailing list for further help. Note that wine is still not good enough to run most production-quality software, unless the software has been tailored specially for it (like the linux version of WordPerfect Office 2000). root said on Apr 26, 2000 at 19:38:18: > Hello, I am trying to install Wine on a Corel Linux based computer.
