Thanks for telling me and all. I was thinking that perhaps my email hadn't got past the moderators, being a bit too gushing. Yea, WINE doesn't work quite as I expected, but I reckon it'll still come in useful. Ta for the STK release... You have to love that new battle arena. When I get my new computer, I might attempt a dual-boot, or whatever it's called when you have two different O/S's... one hard disk for each system! Linux is great and all, don't get me wrong, but WINE just doesn't quite cut it when it comes to the programs I want to run. I admit, I'm a gamer, and Linux isn't all gaming yet, but considering I can only play at the weekends, and I have plenty of distractions even then, I don't want to finally sit down and get bombarded by error after error from Windows. If I must liken the operating systems to cars, Mac is a Prius (Environmental fashion statement) Windows is the 'Flatmobile' from Flatout 2 (Not very practical, very nice until it crashes) and Ubuntu is my Rigs of Rods Volvo modded truck: Fast as hell, looks pretty, doesn't crash (It has a spring loaded arm to fling me over obstacles), open source, grips and handles like a snowplough on steroids and it can STILL tow a trailer!
Love to know any noob-friendly tutorials on Linux file types. I'm a little in the dark on what to click on in my downloaded files. -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
