Questions for meeting

Some questions I have about DNS/Linux.

  1. What version numbers of DNS have been tried with Wine?
  2. Which type has worked/been tested: Standard, Preferred or Professional?
  3. Is Ubuntu the preferred version of Linux for this? Will other Linux variations (Gentoo/Redhat/etc) work?
  4. What sound architecture under Linux is appropriate or required.
  5. What version of Wine is required?
  6. How difficult is the installation of Wine and DNS?
  7. What about extensions such as Vocola, Unimacro and Natlink/Natpython?
  8. What limitations have you found in using DNS on Linux?
  9. How stable is DNS in Linux?
  10. Is there a downloadable document somewhere detailing how to get DNS and Linux working?
