This Gimmel CD claims it will not play in non-Windows 95 computers. It doesn't
play if I push the "Play" button on the CD drive, but it plays when I use the
"cdplay" UNIX command. Interesting. The hardware may be failing a bit, it is
old, or it could be the DRM. I bought this CD from the market square, it is
legal with proper BMG RCA DRM from 2004. nothing points to piracy, and it
behaves like a DRM CD too. I just hope it doesn't install Red Hat Linux
rootkits/Trojans. I don't think it does, though. I think it may have run my
wine, might have to uninstall wine, or disable it somehow.

wine is a pain in the ass, it makes Windows CD's autoplay their harmware and
useless startup programs. wine doesn't usually work either, Linux native is
the best. I like GNU. Richard Stallman is my hero, so is Linus Torvalds. I
have respect for Bill Gates too, he published my favorite operating system
MS-DOS 5.0. I don't like Windows though, they are not very good. XP is
feasible, Vista is too much eye-candy and "Big Brother watching". XP is not
very safe, neither is IE. and Firefox is not safe. Opera is only safe if it is
updated properly. Opera is not good, but there is no better alternative
available for PC computers. Konqueror is good. links is a very good text-mode
browser, so are elinks and lynx. lynx is so '90's though, it is not usually in
2000's operating systems, like this operating system Red Hat 7.2 IT Linux
2002.
