Re: WDSC for Linux...

If WDSC worked in Linux, I would be MUCH closer to using Linux
exclusively.  I might build a QEMU image for the 2-3 other programs that
"need" Windows, but I can't see WDSC working that way unless I get
another GB of RAM to throw at QEMU.

I've been using linux exclusively at home for 5+ years.  I used to want a
wdsc version for linux, and set out to install eclipse.  I happen to use
Mandriva, and found it cumbersome to install Eclipse on Mandriva.  So
cumbersome that on subsequent os upgrades I didn't bother anymore with
eclipse.  My understanding of the problem (from jpackage.org) is the fact
that java isn't open source.  For fun I installed Sun's NetBeans.  That was
super simple.  I downloaded the file, changed permissions, and ran it.
Once installed, I launced the app and it worked.

In the meantime I've been furnished with a work laptop and no longer have a
need for wdsc on my personal computer.
