do you have wine yet? if you do have wine, click on your apps menu, scroll to wine, and click on wine config. toward the bottom of the window it says "windows version" and you can change it to everything from windows 2.0 to vista. select win95 or whichever you need

another thing: wine is extremely inefficient. make sure you have at least double or triple the minimum requirements

thats the problem, i dont have those requirements, that is why i want to know if there is something else out there that i can use.

there are some out there but i don't know what they are

Now, I may have misunderstood the type of laptop, but I think it's an Apple type laptop, correct? On the WineHQ's FAQ page, it says that Wine won't work on non-intel chip based computers. It's not an intel emulator, it is an opensource implementation of the windows API to allow Windows programs to run. Sorry, but Wine doesn't look like it's going to work for you.

i know that but i need something that will work.

Ok, i know this isn't a dell but i still want some help. I have an old Powerpc 3 700 mHz laptop with 128 of ram. I put linux on it because i wanted to try something new. Now i have heard of a program called Wine which is a windows emulator. I want to know if there is something like that for my old powerpc 3 and for the record i want to play a game on it called Red Alert 1 which requires 95 or 98. So if someone knows of something please post. Thanks.

OK, I'll bite. There are some linux distros doing a PowerPC version, including Yellow Dog, Fedora and Ubuntu, IIRC. Your processor is fine (I've run Fedora 6 on a 350 MHz Blue-and-White Mac a while ago), but your RAM situation is not good (how about your hard disk? 10GB+ is fine). 128 MB is below minimum requirements with most distros these days, unless you want to use it with the CLI or a lightweight Window Manager.

IMHO, you're better off leaving the current OS on it. Just my 2.00742 cents worth :)
