[K12OSN] Can I use K12LTSP, WINE, & WineTools

[Angus Carr]

I quite successfully run WINE and K12LTSP to provide shockwave plugin on 
the windows version of firefox on the thin terminals. Shockwave games 
are quite playable, and the kids don't get any more plugin required 
messages.

I provide a default .wine directory right in the /etc/skel, so that new 
users just inherit a working copy. Of course, this is quite a resource 
hog. I keep meaning to make it into a symlink to keep firefox up to date 
centrally, but I just haven't done it.
