systems mentioned above are supported. Other operating systems which
support kernel threads may be supported in the future.
-Linux info:
- While Linux 2.2.x should still work and Linux 2.0.x may still work
- (older 2.0.x versions had thread-related crashes),
- it's best to have a current kernel such as 2.4.x or 2.6.x.
-
FreeBSD info:
- Wine will generally not work properly on versions before FreeBSD
- 6.3 or 7.0, and FreeBSD 6.3 has additional patches available. See
- http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine for more information.
+ Wine will generally not work properly on versions before FreeBSD 7.0.

Solaris info:
You will most likely need to build Wine with the GNU toolchain
Wine should run on most file systems. A few compatibility problems
have also been reported using files accessed through Samba. Also,
NTFS does not provide all the file system features needed by some
- applications. Using a native Linux file system such as ext3 is
- recommended.
