Also 'whereis wine'. If Betov installed wine from a distribution
package,
it's likely to
be /usr/bin, /usr/lib/wine, /usr/share/wine, /usr/share/doc/wine etc.
Also he should do 'man wine'.


It depends on how you look at the problem.

Yes, from a Linux programmer point of view (which i am not, at all),
i could do an effort to learn this and that, to type in, this and
that, and all those bullshits you are used to.

But from an OS user point of view, all of this is utterly unacceptable.
No, a user *does not* have to run any Command Line, and even less to
*learn* any Command Line. Learning takes time, and this is not the job
of a user to *learn* anything at all. The job of a user is, as its name
says, to *use* a Software, and if a Software's final user has anything
to *learn*, before usign the Soft, the programmer has failed. As simple
as this. If a programmer is unable to write a correct user-interface,
why on earth would he be able to write any Soft, at all?

The purpose of an OS, is to _do_ the job. Everything must be self-
evident for the user, and 100% intuitive. Period. Even if Ubuntu
is called "User-Friendly", it is still at light-years from Windows,
you like it or not, at this point of view.

One point that is very damaging for Linux itself is the impressive
biased point of view of the Linux fanatics. Mind you, when reading
the desesparated posts of the many new-comers to Linux, the first
shocking thing is with the outrageous propaganda: In short words:
Linux is a pure marvel, and Windows is pure ***. The reality is
that Linux is slow, unsecure, boring (if Windows was as boring as
Linux with the "securities"...), has many bugs (including basic
and important deffects making the whole thing unusable for a joe
user, like the Password bug, i encounted on day one), and so on...
so, maybe Linux will begin to challenge on Windows, in 10 or 20
years, but, for now, we are still with something that could, at
best, challenge with DOS. Personally, i would prefer DOS.

Another point is that, for a new-comer, it is difficult to piss
on volunteers works and to say loud and clear the real feeling,
like i am doing here (i would never say that, on any Ubuntu Forum).
Elitism is a serious problem, that might lock Linux for years and
more, as well as self-duping. So, feel free to dupe yourself with
Command-lines, but do not hope you will dupe me.

Last example: Yes, i can run the WINE loder with a Command-Line:
"winefile". But a _user_ does not have to know if there is an "s"
at the end or not! This is NOT the user job. The user job is at
most, to click on a menu Item, for runing this. The correct way,
would be to simply... click upon any PE. Period. This is flat
"User Logic".
