Maybe the better question would be does anyone here
have any users using
POTS and WINE, and if so, on which distro? I haven't haven't suffered POTS
or known more than one who has in close to 20 years. The one who has is the
owner of the target. He has zero competence in computer setup or
maintenance, historically struggling to do much more with internet than
collect Windows malware. His email is Juno.
Absent a suggestion backed by recent experience with POTS and WINE, I'll be
choosing between Mageia, openSUSE and Debian.
Target is a Vaio laptop (not mine) with 2.2GHz dual core with 2GB RAM and
GM965 14" 1280x800 video. I have an openSUSE maintenance installation (only
IceWM for X) on it now, which will stay.
Hi Felix,
Q’s first:
- POTS as he connects to the Internet by telephone dial up?
- Juno as in Juno WebMail or through a mail client?
Otherwise:
- User has No computer skills.
- Needs Wine. (for what?)
- Computer’s technology is 10+ years old.

Based upon just the ‘zero competence in computer’ try him on a MX Linux Live
USB in persistent mode [1]? That should be about the easiest way for you to
test if the hardware can handle it and once that’s figured out, then you can
add TDE.
Best,
Michael
