I've installed Wine RPM from RH 8.0. _*Very*_ impressed with the goal, and the progress so far! (Red Hat seem only to offer an RPM of the 20020605 version, so I am hoping they'll release a newer one soon.)
Hi, that version is over half a year old. Compiling from source is a bit harder than using RPMs, but not much. If you can keep up with CVS then upgrading is pretty easy as well.
Is this a reasonable place to present my findings and/or ask if others have encountered similar issues? The issues are application-related, but they often seem to be related to Wine configuration and/or anomalies (?bugs) so that's why I tried this mailing list first. (I can't get to a news feed at the moment.)
For app specific stuff, the appdb.winehq.com is probably a good place. Given how old the copy you're using is however, I'd recommend you upgrade. You may find your tips are obsolete :)
