Not everyhting will work with Wine. There should be a list of Wine-enabled programs around here somewhere.

HAHAHAHA. Just saw the other thread in classical music.

Also the one in the unreal forum entitled "wow" is class.

For those among you who are too lazy, pancakeman = troll.

putty is pretty much on top of the list of what should work without hassle

i presume wine notepad.exe works.

why do you need putty to work if you're on linux? can't you just use ssh from the command line?

wine can be a it dodgy. maybe try an older version if you can find one

Have you set wine up to use your existing Windows install, or do you have a fake_windows installation? Have you tried copying notepad.exe to somewhere in your root filesystem, and running it from there?

Whatever your trying to run (why in gods name would u want to run putty ?) copy it over to your ~/.wine/fake_windows_dir first.
