[Wine] Re: New to Linux and Wine, need to know a few things

[semint]

Great. I'm freeing one of the drives now to install it. I'm just really surprised that it will run Windows apps without Windows, and Microsoft isn't suing the Wine developers. I hope they don't, but given how lawsuits fly out of Redmond all the time, that's one thing you would think at least they would try to do.

I will install Mint 12 first, but I also downloaded Ubuntu Studio because it's supposed to have all the multimedia apps and an optimized kernel for them. However, when I installed it under VMWare, it was OK but it didn't have the nice look that Mint 12 has. Is there a way to make Ubuntu look exactly like Mint 12? After all, Mint is based in Ubuntu.
