WINE Support

[Forgive me for such a noob question. I'm not well versed in Linux and have never tried to use WINE. That said...]

Will the RPi support an installation of WINE; specifically WINE running ContaCam?

I am interested in running ContaCam (http://www.contaware.com), a Security Serveillance application with motion detection, DVR, integrated web server, supporting webcams, WDM and DV, and IP cameras. It's feature set is exactly what I need and I am familiar with the application. I know ContaCam will run in WINE, but I have no idea if WINE will run on RPi and even if it will then are the resources required by ContaCam available. When looking at Windows Task Manager, I see that ContaCam is taking about 65,000 K in resources.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Think about it. You have 256MB RAM. You then want to run Wine on it, and Windows on top of that and some Windows applications on top of that. Even if Wine did work your Pi would melt under the strain. If you want to run Windows applications the solution is to get a PC.
