Re: FrameMaker on Ubuntu

["Edgar D' Souza" <edgar -dot- b -dot- dsouza -at- gmail -dot- com>]

General Google-able information seems to indicate problems with PS fonts if
you use Wine. Even Crossover Linux's compatibility db states "This
application installs, runs, and can accomplish some portion of its
fundamental mission." (
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name?app_id=619)

As some articles state, VMware (especially the free VMware Server or Player)
are pretty decent workarounds. I use WinXP in a VMware Player VM on a daily
basis to run FrameMaker and other stuff. The only real requirement is more
RAM - minimum 512MB, recommended 768MB or above (especially if you're
running KDE or GNOME as your desktop manager).

Virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org/ ), the new open-source competitor to
VMware, can also run Windows, and may be a good alternative.

Regards,
Ed.
