in pd :-)

As vstserver is quite new, its not well packaged and the setup
is quite lengthy. Pd also has a learning curve, but its quite
a powerful tool and you will not be wasting your time.
there isnt usually much to do for wine. As a mature
package it is well supported by most distros.
eg urpmi wine
emerge wine
etc...
you might have to tweak ~/.wine/config slightly.
check installation by typing "wine notepad" or similar.
so which distro are you using and how far have you got so far?
cheers!
