How to Install Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator)
This guide will explain "WINE" and provide the commands needed to install the application on your favorite Linux distribution. What is Wine? Wine is a third party compatibility program which allows for various Windows programs to run in a UNIX environment. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. "Wine" is not an emulator. In fact, the name of the application says just that (W)ine (I)s (N)ot an (E)mulator. How to install "Wine": > Open a terminal in your Linux distro  > Type the following command then press Enter. Code:
sudo apt-get update You will be prompted for your password. And the update process will begin. You will see details of what exactly is being done in the terminal's window. > Now type this command and press Enter. Code:
sudo apt-get install wine You will be prompted for your password (if done in a different window than the previous command). And the update process will begin. You will see details of what exactly is being done in the terminal's window. > Lastly, type this command and press Enter Code:
sudo apt-get install winesetuptk You will be prompted for your password (if done in a different window than the previous command). And the update process will begin. You will see details of what exactly is being done in the terminal's window. > Once you've completed all three, Wine will be installed on your system. To check, Go >

For me, it was different. I wasn't able to load it directly from the default repository, I had to load the Debian source first so it would know where to get wine from.
Code:
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main

Yeah to add the sources to your list you have to do the Alt+F2 command and then in the RUN command use the command
gksudo "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" to pull up the window where your source list is held. Just copy the addys that Kam provided into the list and then hit Save and then try the commands that Tech gave. It should then find the packages now.
