[ubuntu-za] Windows apps on Ubuntu

[Jan Greeff]

My biggest bugbear with Ubuntu has been and still is how to run my 
Legacy genealogy program.

I tried Crossover, it was a disaster. There has been much talk of Wine, 
but I have been totally unable to make anything of this, what appears to 
be a Crossover hybrid.

The only thing that has worked for me is Virtualbox, which is also not 
hassle-free. I have been told you can save the files and reinstall them 
after upgrading via clean install, but the files appear to get corrupted.

Gramps is not an option, so unless someone out there has found some 
magic solution, it's back to Virtualbox for me, having to start anew 
with every clean install.
