Open up a terminal and type wine. If it doesn't say command not found, then you have Wine installed. To use it, type in
wine YourWindowsExe.exe

For Wine to work, you need to run the wine servver. In Fedora go to the menu and select System settings --> Server settings --> Services

And in there select wine and run(start) it. Then return to the console and type wine notepad. That should produce a Windows like Notepad program.

Good luck!

Peace!

When I put in my Counter-Strike CD-ROM to install it I right clicked and selected open with Wine and it worked and its said succesfully installed after i ran the setup but now i cant find Counter-Strike it said it saved to cWsierra\counter-strike or something like that any ideas? and i thought Wine was a program you could open not something that ytou jsut use to open things. Someone please help.

It will be in your home dir under your fake windows drive something like this:

/home/yourusername/.wine/fake_windows/c/program files

Cant remember the exact dir structure of wine but its deffinately in your /home/username/.wine/...soemthingsomething look in there for your fake windows then c then program files basically the same as your windows dir layout.
