Mundus OS and Wine

Mundus OS can install and run some Windows programs via Wine.

Mundus OS and DMG Automounter

The ability to mount Macintosh DMG files on Mundus OS is due to the incorporation of Nayebi's own nautilus script, DMG Automounter for Linux.

Unfortunately, Linux is currently unable to install a DMG file, and thus can only mount it. However, the ability to mount a DMG image can be especially helpful for users migrating from Macintosh to Linux who have their files contained in a DMG image. There are several limitations to DMG Automounter. For example, the script can only mount z-lib compressed DMG images.

Furthermore, the script cannot mount AES-encrypted DMG images. On the other hand, Mundus OS comes with the loop-aes-utils package which may aid in mounting an AES-encrypted DMG.

Mundus OS and Non-Debian Packages
