Running Toad under wine in Ubuntu linux

Finally I got a description on how to run Toad for Oracle under wine in linux. The description is not quite “out-of-the-box”, but with a little fiddeling around I got it to work:

I had to remove wine, and install the 1.4 version (just upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4 did not work). Then I had to set some environments variables (ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN) through registry (> wine regedit).

Another reason for not using Windows anymore. The only thing I need now is a good alternative to MS Outlook.
