Cheers

I've installed Wine today.
Impression : good.


$ wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

$ sudo apt-get install wine
$ wine


It automatically puts Wine in menu, so you have to choose Configure Wine:

Click 'Autodetect...' in drives section and that's about it.

C: is not your C: drive in windows, it's folder in linux where you put your windows applications.
/home/COMPUTERNAME/.wine/drive_c/

Now you can install all kind of windows-like applications.
example:

Choose your linux 'c_drive\Program Files' directory>

zomg:

And voila, it's working...


It emulates most of simpler programs like so:


but, for bigger applications (Photoshop, Sound Forge, games) you have to configure some crap, i tried to run PS but it blocked on splash screen, damn modules...

Anyway, if you want to get rid of windoze 4ever, install wine...

kthxbye

Highway to Hell

Another day finished.
I customized my Ubuntu a lil' bit, i deleted fu*king Evolution Mail and replace it with Mozilla Thunderbird. Also, i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, shit capable for playing mp3, avi etc.
When i got home today, i turned my b0x on, and power-supply cooler went wild. Some screws were badly attached, also it was full of dust. I took my vacuum cleaner and blow the motherfucker away.

Grub refreshed

I removed Xubuntu and installed Ubuntu. Why? I don't like Xubuntu at all.
Ubuntu comes with compiz, so it has really nice effects, gnome 2.20 is there too.
Openoffice has ubuntu's logo on splash image, so Feky tought ubuntu bought openoffice :D. Thing i really don't like is Evolution Mail, why didn't they put a better mail client, like Thunderbird. Oh well, their problem.
The VPN setup is really easy, you just have to install pptp-linux and
network-manager-pptp, configure it in a gui and browse the net.
Also, bluetooth is working 'out of the box', and Duffman said :"Oh yeaaah!!"
