Solve : Wine for a Linux noob?

1.	Solve : Wine for a Linux noob?
Answer» Right I'm running SUSE 11.1 (don't ask me for more details because you'll have to explain to me what it is and how to find it), and I can't find Wine. So I've THOUGHT to myself, ok maybe I need to download it. Nope I just get "Wine should already be installed at directory: somewhere (I'm on Windows atm how am I supposed to remember where its meant to be?). I can download components and general ODDS and sods but I don't get it. Am I missing something? Simple brakedown of gibberish: Linux SUSE 11.1 Where is Wine? How to get Wine? WITHIN SuSE, find YaST (Yet Another Setup Tool). Find the program selection (may be called package management - it's been so long since I used SuSE - version 5? - I suspect it's changed a bit!) and search for Wine there.Yeah, I last used Version 8 and it was pretty obvious back then.If none of the above works, find a SuSE RPM (if there is one) from the official Wine site and install it with rpm.right, I have now discovered YaST and installed wine. I will probably be back later ASKING how to use it.Well done!Just as I thought I'm back! How do I configure Wine? Can I open wine without a target i.e. for configuring? I have no idea how to open wine without opening a .exe file at the same time.In most installations, Wine installs a configuration link in your KDE/Gnome menu. But I never use Wine, so that's about as much as I can say on the subject. There are probably some COMMAND line options, but you may need to read the manual...No problem found it.
