Have you managed to get MS.NET operating under Wine? If so, what's the trick? (BTW I'm using Wine under Linspire). Or is there something different to MS.NET for Linux?
Ed, which version of the .Net framework (1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5)? Is the application pure 100% managed code or is it dependant on other dlls? If it is pure code, then you could probably look at Mono, but a capture program is most likely gonna be making loads of calls to dlls.
I'm pretty sure you're going to be sh*t out of luck with 3.0 and 3.5. 2.0 might behave, but I don't know anyone who has managed a stable installation (typically seeing 20%-30% crash rate). .Net V1.1 should be okay, but chances are that your app requires a later version.
How about using VMware to run Windows in a virtual machine for those apps that Wine won't hack?
I have the luxury of working almost entirely with RISC OS computers, so my OS is in ROM and I can always get a working machine no matter what happens (more or less! -- the UPS eliminates most 'other' risks) and it is trivial even to replace the main hard drive, as I have full and incremental backups all over the place.
Just copy it back, using the filer, re-start and it's back as it was. These foreign systems are just a pain, and I try to avoid them. Seems to have worked well these past nineteen years...
Back later.

After all the recent fuss about Debian having screwed up their implementation of SSL, are you sure that Ubuntu is wise?
You should get the government to help, Dizzy. After all, their computers always work just fine.
I tried my best with Ubuntu/Xubuntu but I'm afraid I went back to Windows because I didn't have the patience to tweak.
That looks painful.
Fred, it's a clean install and has been patched.
I can't believe you are having a problem - Yu de Man of IT

Geek Alert!

Ed
what is _exactly_ you are trying to do with .NET?
currently installing Half Life II. Don't expect me to be around to reply!
warning .... more Geek stuff :-)
Trying to install Nikon Capture NX which requires .NET (arrghhh).

Hmm. It's all Geek to me...

Shouldn't be using a commie OS I reckon :p
