I have been reading and researching and I am trying to figure out which way to go. Should I use Wine or V-box to run programs written for Microsoft? If I use V-Box then will I have to actually install Windows or can I use Wine inside that?
There is a inexpensive CAD program, [well two actually] at the Office Max I live near. One even says it is written for Windows and Mac.
I see a lot of post in using the 'search' function in how-to's, etc. so I am a little concerned with Wine as that my skill set is still on a sharp learning curve. I am also wondering about security when using Wine and if Firestarter is a sufficient enough firewall for protection if using Wine.
My final question at this time is that if Wine is going to install in my /home then will this make my /home folder open to attacks?
