How to Run Rosetta Stone in Ubuntu
Rosetta Stone is a language-learning program that's available only for Windows and Mac OS. Fortunately, Linux users can run many Windows applications, including Rosetta Stone, using WINE, a Windows emulator. WINE is free to download for any Linux distribution and, once installed, can be used to install Rosetta Stone directly from its installation CD. The program may be buggy at times, but not so much that it cannot be used.
