I'm currently using Linux Mint Debian version and have come back to this version from Ubuntu. I had a few Programs that helped with my woodworking and have had a good run with one in particular. A MS compatible version running under "Wine" for "Optimizing" the cutting of sheet materials - Called Optimik from RK Software http://rksoft.sk/en/ - Now they did introduce a Version 2 - however I found that with my system and setup the screens "Overlapped" and it had some transparency issues so was able to be used anymore.
The v1 however then developed a "cannot print to the current printer setup" problem and couldn't find out what was causing that. So went on the search again.
Found Maxcut http://www.maxcut.co.za/ Optimization sheet software via a woodwork forum. 1st I installed it on W7 and it was a very easy program to setup and run. Tried it on MintD and would not setup at all under Wine.

Anyone else tried and successfully running anything like these on Linux that I could also try on MintDeb?
Thanks
