hi,
I'm pretty new and couldn't find an answer to the question in topic: how can I use tis Suite with Ubuntu? or better with Xubuntu, since my notebook isn't so fast.
Xubuntu hasn't so much software installed, so I wish I can still use PortableApps.
thanks

what you need to do is open up your command terminal enter these commands
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
then also you need
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
and then finally you need to install wine
sudo aptitude install wine

I recommend using the installer within Ubuntu. You just need to add the Universe repsitory, update and then find and install it. More info is here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
yeah, ubuntu is made to be user friendly so why would you want to open up terminal? when i installed wine i went to add/remove software, searched for wine, clicked install.... done. it also auto installs the needed dependencies if you need any.
There are two ways:
As John and Travis said:
Or simplifying Zach's advice:
(you can also use aptitude as in Zach's advice, but it is at your choice)
when you're over you can double-click your installers and apps to run them.
(I think he doesn't need latest WINE from WineHQ and the Ubuntu packages are good enough for the average user, even though I use the latest ones
)
I'd still recommend to grab the 1.0 RC version, as it mostly contains important bugfixes.
