  1. Review - Wine

    0.9.58 (Mar 21, 2008)

    sjc, that's very funny. It's good to see them use XP as default now.

  2. Review - FileZilla v3 for Linux

    3.0.8 RC1 (Mar 8, 2008)

    I'm used to this in Windows, so no longer need Krusader for FTP.

    Krusader still kicks a** though--just now there is a FTP-specific tool to take over that little part.

  3. Review - Ubuntu

    8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) Alpha 6 (Mar 8, 2008)

    Well, my dad uses it and he's a 72 year old mechanic. No problems with it so far. He didn't even have any computing skills before Ubuntu. What's even more funny, is that he doesn't know how to use Windows. Go figure.

    And yes, he does know how to install via apt and Synaptic, but not compile (./configure/make/sudo make install) yet.

  4. Review - Wine

    0.9.57 (Mar 8, 2008)

    ROFL @ WINE competing with Vista.

    @the artist:
    I know how annoying it is that some Windows specific programs do break in WINE--eBay Turbolister being one of them >:( --but for what I can run I'm more than happy with it.

    Music programs like Sibelius/Cubase/FruityLoops/LogicAudio require direct hardware access and Windows specific drivers that most likely haven't been integrated in to WINE yet. That's right--it's a pain in the arse.

    This leaves us with only 2 options for now:
    - Install it in a virtual machine running Windows.
    - Or find a Free Software alternative.

    With Google now behind WINE, Adobe CS works flawlessly. Other than for games, who needs Windows. 5 Stars.

  8. Comment - Mozilla releases Firefox 3.0 Beta 3, adds several features

    Speed dial is good - I used it for months until I found "fast dial", it's friendlier on the resources and you can have around 30 entries on the speed dial list.
