Lol you act like Wine just came out or something wtf... I wont tell you how long , but its been in development since the early to mid 90's...

I just installed (portable) Illustrator CS2 -- and it works fine!

IE6 SP1 is another app worth loading in WINE, so you can see how webpages will render to the 75% of the world who don't know any better (plus Steve Balmer's children who are not allowed to use Firefox, or own an iPod ...) :Oh crap

I actually know it's from the mid 90's...

Uh yeah because the average user is going to put freebsd on their desktop :error

The only thing I still use windows for is video editing ... Linux still has a bit to go in this area IMHO :winkwink:

OMFG!! You do not even realize the quagmire you've opened here ...

This is EXACTLY why linux is gaining ground every day!! :winkwink:

I've never heard of Ubuntu maybe I should try it out.

I have been content with XP. Fuck vista for now...

I like backtrack over ubuntu :D

fiddy.....

http://pcbsd.org/

there is one other package of this out there somewhere (desktopbsd?) -- neither worked well on one of my spare boxes but Ubuntu jammed on it...so debian linux it is

and the bsd community makes gfy look like a bunch of fucking free loving hippies...they're so fast to tell you to fuck off and RTFM it'll make your head spin...whereas the Ubuntu crowd respects the medication regimine that their doctors prescribed and are much more palatable in a social/helpful sense...

dammit, now I'm going to spend another hour or two tomorrow trying to get this done on my Feisty box ;P

It is rather easy .... I am on UbuntuStudio (Feisty) but I installed it while I was still using Edgy

This may point you in the right direction:

Linux chicks make me horny ... :winkwink:

Thanks maing...but I'm more interested in the DW issue -- I don't use PS really -- I'm not much of a graphics guy and for what I need I use Gimp or PSP...

DW however I use at least a few times a day.

lovable :pimp

Damn, its been years since I've used a linux distro on a main comp in a dual/multi boot setup. Maybe I'll toss it on a partition and give it a go.

running windows applications on Linux is kinda having sex in a rubber suit :)
It's better to buy a mac and get a unix based OS with all applications you use daily. But newer Macs have lots of incompatibilities with older software and a user has to use emulation to run them.

Though unix based OS's are secure, they still suck.

Im running Fedora Core 6 on my Dell 1501 with XP. The dual booting was no real problem. Getting the wireless to work was a challenge but, I got it. Crossover made it possible to run almost all Windows Apps on here.

I really like Fedora.

I tired made a mess of my system , so I stay a xp guy.

I decided to redo my Media Server yesterday and installed Ubuntu. Loving it so far.

Just downloaded Ubuntu Studio to see how it works on a video editing box.

Which version of linux has the filesystem that doesnt fragment the files?

bump for Ubuntu:thumbsup

I tried PC Linux OS on my laptop and my wireless wouldn't work right away. I put Ubuntu on it and my wireless connected right away, so that was really nice. Although, I spent 2 nights messing around trying to get Unbuntu to my windows shares and just ended up putting XP back on it.

Is there a way to connect to a windows workgroup, from ubuntu, or is that a stupid question?

I prefer Mepis live CD (Debian based) everything just works :)
I clicked on the install icon on the desktop and It found everything during the install. Networking with the windoze machines was a breeze with Smbk4.

Gentoo or Ubuntu !
 

Ubuntu and Gentoo are nice OSes, however the 64 bit versions with the SLI support kind of sucked or is not supported... However I had tried only a few months back to put such on my amd X2 and I was a little disappointed...

I'm finding Vista 64 bit version is very stable and can play some games like Unreal Tournament 2004 ... etc... however there are still many games it cannot play...

If your not playing windows video games then I would suggest everyone run either Gentoo or Ubuntu !

Later,

.

I'm going to be a MAC guy soon.

Best comment on newer versions of windows.

How on earth you label dreamweaver and CuteFTP as adult webmaster softwares? :error:helpme :1orglaugh

Thats pretty funny...

I have Dreamweaver MX and Photoshop CS running under Fedora. I used Crossover Office to make that happen.http://wwwcodewavers.com. For FTPing, Im using gFTP http://gftp.seul.org/. Works alot like CuteFTP.:thumbsup

vista eh...prefer to stick to my xp

LoL at that shit

I like Ubuntu too but I have to run Windows since Visual Basic is the only programming language I know really well. And I like to automate things. I don't really have time to learn another one. (I'm lazy)

vista sucks

I have xp and ubuntu also.Ubuntu rocks.Also there is ubuntu server version which works fine on oc3networks.com.

VISTA = TOTAL SHIT!

I won't buy a new laptop or desktop from any store because they fuckin jam that piece of crap system on it.

I will only buy machines from tiger now or somewhere where you can choose the os.

:1orglaugh

Totally agree, but why Ubuntu, why not XP?

If you're curious about Ubuntu, but never heard of it, never tried it, etc.. Give you a tip! It's super easy (within windows!) to go to the Ubuntu site, download the Live CD, and boot from the disc. No HD installation necessary, it will load the OS and you can click around and do most things before deciding to install it on a partition or another machine or whatever. Neat way to blow an hour anyways.

I haven't gotten the balls up to overwrite my main OS yet, but I have enough parts for a spare PC here, so I think I'll try it on there very soon

I like Ubuntu and Linspire. I always thought Wine could only run select Windows applications. If it can indeed run almost everything, then maybe I'll do more with Linux than just mess around with it.

With this Wine program, how do the Windows applications install in Linux? Does that handle this, or do you just start them off the Windows partition?

I have XP on my laptop
