I am running Mandrake 10.1 and I tested turing on wine, and yes it installs, and runs perfectly.
I'm so happy....

Ya, it works with Wine on Suse too. (Also, I think there was already a topic about this somewhere else that Dan started a little while ago...)

I want linux but me computer is shit. I tried to install PHLAK but my computer kept freezing up. Im going to try suse as soon as i download it. What is wine? were can I get it? how do I install it?

Wine is a program that lets you run Windows apps in Linux. It should come with your copy of Suse. I think mine did.
(If not you can download it here. Installing is just a matter of unpacking the RPM and using Yast. Which will become clear when you start using Linux.)

Basically, the Win32 API contains a lot of basic functionality that every GUI application needs. Rather than writing all of this code from scratch, programmers use that API to save time.
Your program wants to open a window, it tells the Win32 libraries to open a window for it.
Linux uses several different APIs for GUI applications, but not Win32. By default, if you try to run a Windows application on Linux and it largely fails because the system can't handle those requests.
WINE steps in by giving the system a means of answering those requests. It doesn't emulate the computer like VMWare or VirtualPC, but just the API calls, translating Win32 API requests to something the system's own libraries can handle.

Thanks, I no longer can put Suse or any other linux distro on my computer cause my one drive is dead(10gb) and my other drive is too small(1.62gb) to fit a good distro on there(suse, knoppix,etc..). So for now im stuck using winxp.

Keep digging, Watson. It's a Windows-based program so running it on all distributions of Linux is not obvious.
As for me, I'm having some troubles =/ Running Debian over here, and I tried to WINE it. Goes into installshield wizard fine, but halfway through it reports that "Failed to exract file "DLL_INI" from the binary table."
Any ideas? I miss the good ol' days of Turing....

Even though I've moved on, it would still be nice to play around on Turing every once in a while, help out all my grade 10 friends

Hate to double-post but I think this is something that should be brought to everyone's attention If your base WINE doesn't work on Turing (as it didn't for mine), get your hands on a copy of CodeWeaver's "CrossOver Office" and install it as an unsupported application. Worked for me! I'm now doing Turing on Linux. w00t! ^__^
