Re: wine compatible logo needed

[Metody Stefanov]

Thanks for all the responses.
Yes, I intend to specify the wine version and the linux distro used.
I had in mind something like this for the manual:

"System Requirements:
[...] Hardware stuff [...]
Operating system:
Windows XP SP2 or later.
[WORKS WITH WINE LOGO GOES HERE] wine* 1.1.24 (or should I use just 1.1?)
"
And then, a footnote: "Works with wine 1.1.24, openSuSe 11.1 linux, see Appendix A "Technical notes/Descriptions" (Have to come up with a better name) for more information"
And then in the appendix, a small description of what wine is, something along the lines of :
[wine official logo] wine: Application compatibility layer that allows running software designed for windows on other OSses. 
Follows a list of OSes that are supported (resp. architectures etc.) and then a note that wine is work in progress so experience with later/previous versions may vary (will think of a better way to put it).
Thoughts?

Cheers, Metody Stefanov

(PS sorry for the distorted first post (and this one if it turns bad as well). 
PC I'm using at the moment has a strictly no-linux, no-other soft policy, only Microsoft pre-installed stuff. Outlook Express in this case...)

The danger with specifying 1.1 versions is that one is released every
two weeks. It can quickly become obsolete, and in a few months (or
years) time users may get confused as to why they can't find the exact
version you specify any more.

This would only be practical for an electronic, online manual which
you would update after rigorous testing of each new release.
