Running Windows Applications on FreeBSD

In the last article, we looked at using VNC for accessing other desktops in a network. This week, I’d like to continue in this vein by looking at running Windows applications from within your FreeBSD system.One of the neatest things about FreeBSD is that if it is running on a dual-boot computer, you don’t have to exit FreeBSD to access data contained on the other operating system’s partition. It is a simple matter to mount the other partition and to then read, write, or even delete the files contained on that partition. Ah, but what about running executable files, you may ask? If that other operating system is made by Microsoft and you’re running the Windows emulator (Wine) on your FreeBSD system, it is possible to run many Windows applications from your FreeBSD system.
