Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

DESCRIPTION
Build all of a light linux distro non-stop and no buildfails with just a few commands. (not including un-tarring initial DL)
Current Build Time: 3 to 4.7 hours* on an iCore7 using -j8
It's all automatic from Termcap to Gtk-4 and making new USB, it's new enough run firefox 20-130 and Mathematica 4 - 14. Minimal commandlines and configuration required; just a few in itself.
Cross Compiles i386 to x86_64 (note not a canadian cross). ~500 pkgs built including configured database sendmail and apache.
Both Older linux src2 (glibc-2.11 xfree86 ff44) and Newer linux src11 build equally well from the same "chroot_create" command. Modifying build list is text editor easy.
"A linux modifiable and re-creatable by one person because you make it."
TBLD is not based on another distribution it is roughly similar to Linux from Scratch. For compatibility see README.txt in Files.
USB is live has WiFi, not required to build.
