i was wondering if Linux is able to run standard windows programs, like .exe and so on.

(i'm trying to learn about it before i install)

Thank You

Not natively.  It requires and emulator of some kind to fool the program into thinking it's on Windows.  Wine is probably the most commonly used method.

I couldn't tell you what it takes to get it working in DSL...all I know is that it has been done at least partially.
