I too have been playing around with wine lately. I had only partial success trying to run win32 Netscape. I found that I would lock solid if I went to a website that had any java content. Also I haven't had any luck printing yet... Can anyone share their experiences regarding running Netscape with wine on FreeBSD? Also, any tips for getting printing working? -- Regards, Devin.
