Wine may have worked in SuSE 9.x. The may is because I do not recall. It
definitely did not work in OpenSuSE 10.0 and most probably in 10.1. I had
everything but Wine working which appeared not to have all the libraries it
needed. Not certain on this just 95% sure as it was about that time I had to
move. If I recall correctly on 10.0 and 10.1 you had to install some
additional libraries from a MS distribution to make Wine work but that may
just be my screwed up memory of the issue.
