Of course, no solution is perfect and Win4Lin does have significant drawbacks:
You must use a Win4Lin hacked kernel binary, or rebuild your existing kernel using NeTraverse's kernel patch. Currently, these are 2.2 kernels only, although I would expect 2.4 kernels are forthcoming. For the kernel patching squemish the Win4Lin installation script will automatically install the kernel binaries without overwriting your existing kernel, if you're running a recent version of a major distributrion such as Red Hat, Mandrake, Caldera or SuSE.
NeTraverse's website is difficult to follow in places and most documentation available such as the installation instructions is superficial, which can get annoying for experienced Linux users who would really like to understand what's happening behind the scenes.
Windows sound only works if you are using OSS (free or pay) drivers in Linux. Alsa drivers are unsupported (and won't work, I tried).
Gaming probably won't work very well since DirectX is unsupported. NeTraverse expects support for DirectX to be included in future releases, however.
There is no direct cut and paste available between Linux and the virtualized Windows OS.

with the kernel. They talk about "version of the Win4Lin-enabled kernel" Does this
mean that the kernel my system will be using after installing win4lin will not be the
RedHat 7.1 kernel? Or do they do some kind of patch to the kernel? Patched is OK, I
guess. I just don't want to have a special kernel that won't be supported by Redhat.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
