Just for fun:

I am a bit playing with Linux and mac an CrossOver and Wine.

CO on mac works pretty nice (doable speed):

There is even support for the browser (via ATL):

Wine under Puppylinux, works but terribly slow.
Not sure this is a VirtualBox issue yet.

I also used openSuse but that one is also very slow.
For both applies 100% cpu for the simpliest tasks.
Maybe when directly installed it may all work out better.

Wine is a .pet download which you can find on the puppy forum.
I don't see the need for CO at this time but then, i haven't explored it any further as what you see now.
If i would install the compiler it may not be executed from inside PwrDev, who knows?
