Our school is setting up a Linux computer lab for students to use. We have Kinetic Books and would like to run it on these computers. The software is java-based. Is it possible to run it under Wine? Are there any general rules-of-thumb for which programs are Wine-compatible?

Thanks!

You will have to install a windows jvm under wine if the software uses native libraries. A linux jvm wont be able to load dlls nor access the api provided by wine.

Winehq lists a current jvm as fully working, so there shouldn't be any problems with running java itself in wine.
