Hi, List! Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no way to run windows exe flash movies under linux without wine? I have a foreign language video tutorial packaged for windows users. On the course dvd there's all data (video lessons, images and texts in xml format). Testing it under VirtualBox windoze xp reveals that main executable (start.exe) opening flash player with different menus and buttons. Without that it's difficult to organize all that stuff in right order. However performance of video under VirtualBox is very poor. And I don't want to install wine on my machine. It would be a big hole in security. So, any suggestions? TIA
Wine is no less secure than any other program you run on your Linux box in USER space. However, the project highly recommends against running as a super-user.
You might want to give it a go since you proved the program is somewhat secure.
