Shareaza

First off: WINE is really not a virtualizer / emulator. It is an api adaption / compatibility layer that translates win32 api calls to native linux calls.
Shareaza is known to be able to run with wine on a Linux 'distro' like Ubuntu.

To Install (on Ubuntu 10.04):
1) Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
2) Search up wine
4) Select wine1.2 and not wine
5) Click ok if more packages to install pop up.
6) Click apply.
7) Close the Synaptic Package Manager
8) Download Shareaza from a web browser like Firefox (I grabbed the non SSE2 optimized build to be safe)
9) Right click and open the properties window.
10) Go to permissions and enable it to run as an executable.
11) Double click (If that fails, then right click->wine loader)

Why you should use the wine1.2 package over wine:
- The crash on installation was fixed somewhere in wine 1.1.*
- The media now plays in recent Wine builds of 1.1.*
- Less drawing and skinning issues.

Some bugs still present:
- You cannot open a file in the library tab.
- Drawing artifacts from the tooltips on some lower-end systems.
- Metacity flickering every-so often on certain systems.
- Having a skin enabled can lead to some nasty drawing artifacts (Works very well with just letting the distro windowing skin Shareaza instead).

And remember:
Wine Is Not an Emulator!

I found I can open files in the library if the view is switched to thumbnails, can't even select them with the other views.
Some of the settings aren't kept after a restart, seems the newer the Shareaza version the more settings are reset to default after restarting.
Can't get it to keep track of shares & partials unless they are in the default location, if they're on another drive it has to be told where they are after each restart.
Apart from that I've had 2.4.0.0 running well for over a year on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, version of Wine now at 1.1.42.

I've had the settings reset issue in the past.
Weird, as it doesn't happen for me anymore, maybe there's a trigger for the bug.
