Wine is a complex program, and it is probably best if you install it through your distros official repositories. I thought I heard that Linpus had the Apt package management tools, though I've never used Linpus. If so, you can open a terminal, go root ("su" or "sudo su"), and use the command "apt-get install wine". (Must be plugged into the Internet.) PerlCoder (http://indicium.us)
