Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

PuTTY is not really relevant, although I don't know how you intend to run Windows applications without a GUI - let's leave that for another topic.

Please read about [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14408&forum=47]Installing Software[/url] and [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories]Repositories[/url], and note the warnings and advice about installing and configuring the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities]yum priorities plugin[/url]. Non-core repos should have a higher numeric value, which is a lower priority. Lower is "better" as in golf scores.

Log on and [url=http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BecomingRoot]become root[/url], install epel-release to configufe the EPEL repo, then [code]yum list wine\*[/code]. Pick what packages you want and install then with yum.

GUI is TightVNC, at least i think...

Anyway that worked perfectly, thank you very much for the help.
