Running Programs w/WINE: Better to Install Them in Win98SE or Linux?

[Nighthawk69]

Hi there...

I am going to be migrating this desktop to Linux with a dual-boot to Win98SE, but RedHat 7.3 will be used 98% of the time. My question is, for programs that I want to use with WINE to run in Linux, would it be better to install them in Windows or Linux?

Some examples of what I plan to use WINE with from the get-go are:
Trillian
Half-Life
Half-Life: Counter-Strike
Warcraft III

And I'm sure I'll find some more stuff too.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

My experience with WINE. It is better to install in Windows, and run in Windows if you have a dualboot. WINE seems kind of fickle to me. Runs some apps well, others not at all.

Thanks!

From what I've read, the software I listed above will function with WINE. My question though, is, where is the best place to locate software that I am using with WINE? On the Windows partition or the Linux partition?

Thanks!

I have only run programs from the windows partition, not installed,in Linux, under wine. Good luck.
