WINE for Linux

This is mainly directed to Joe Pluta, but might be of interest to anyone else trying to move from Windows to Linux.

I've been setting up a Fedora box (I'm very much a Linux beginner), and really missed some utilities I have on my Windows box. I don't remember where I heard it, but someone has managed to replicate the entire Windows API as a program that's run under Linux; they call it WINE. After installing it, it's possible in many cases to "install" a Windows program on that Linux box and have it work.

I've successfully gotten UltraVNC and PasswordSafe running on my Fedora box.

The WINE website, http://www.winehq.org/, has a list of application software that's known to work, or partially work, using WINE.
