Ubuntu Linux questions

Thanks for that RR, I know nothing about commands yet, getting through the books but a way off yet.

Well if all goes well Wine should work, not game to try it yet.
This is what I did, entered the following commands:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

sudo apt-get update

Then used Ubuntu Software Center to search and install Wine development version, Hopefully that is correct.

I noticed an app called "Configure Wine", what do you think of that?
If I install that do I need to run any commands?

Thanks again.

Edit:
Whoops I fluffed that up, I have that "Configure Wine" application in the installed list in Ubuntu Software Center with an "Install" button, not a "remove" button, if I am not to install it how do I get the app out of the installed list?
