Hitting [Enter], it will ask you for your current user's password, and then for the password you'd like '''root''' to have:

<pre>Enter new UNIX password:

<pre>blacklisted@ubuntu:/home/blacklisted# sudo passwd root

Enter new UNIX password:

Retype new UNIX password:

passwd: password updated successfully

~~root~~@ubuntu:/home/blacklisted# </pre>

blacklisted@ubuntu:/home/blacklisted# </pre>

'''Note: As you're typing in the passwords, the passwords will NOT show up. This is normal.'''

Next, we'll need to update the '''repositories''', which is a fancy name for the place in which Ubuntu downloads its software.

Updating this ensures that you get the most current software when you're ready to download:

<pre> sudo apt-get update</pre>

A lot of text will scroll up; you'll know when its done when the terminal allows you to type in commands again.

Now that the repositories are updated, we'll need to update this software that is currently installed on the system. This step is essential:

<pre> sudo apt-get upgrade</pre>

This step may take significantly longer than the previous. This is similar to Windows Update as it may require a restart after its complete.

Once the update completes, we can then download '''Wine'''. The most current stable version at the time of this writing is 1.2, so you'd type:

<pre> sudo apt-get install wine1.2</pre>

and hit [Enter]. This will download and install Wine in one easy step. When it completes, type in:

and press [Enter]. This will open up a configuration window for Wine. Click the
