For example, Ubuntu needs a program called Wine to install Windows-based software. So is there another Linux OS that can install them right away? And if so, whats the lowest Linux OS memory usage?
I want to install some of my windows based music software on my laptop and I’m gonna try another version of linux. I’m currently running Mandriva on this one and Ubuntu on another. Ubuntu doesn’t work well with my software and Mandriva doesn’t like my cd player unless I’m running Mandriva from it. Can I use Playonlinux and Wine on Slackware?
i’ve been stuck on finding the solution of this problem :
before this, i use borland C++ 5.2 under XP, however now i used linux mandriva 2007.1 one spring. the quiestion is, what is an equivalent software to my previous compilers. I’ve used Kdevelop but found myself stuck to make a console application. Someone please help me. I also used WINE to run that borland. But the application won’t appear when i tried to run it under mandriva.
hey guys,
I recently got an IPhone, however due to my OS (in title) I am unable to run Itunes….which obviously leaves a major component of the phone useless at this point. I was just wondering if there was any software available that can emulate a 32 bit Windows OS (similar to Wine for Linux users) so that I could run the 32 bit Itunes software??
I’m hoping to avoid having to run a virtual OS in the like of Virtual PC/ VM ware just for one application..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
David
All this started when I installed the ATI radeon graphic card driver.After installing the driver,I was asked to reboot.
While booting,the Kubuntu loading screen came up as usual but after that the screen went black!!
It dosen’t even show a cursor to write some commands…..its just….Black 
It tried the "recovery mode" option.It performed some tests and then showed me the command line but i dont know what to type in their……..
I guess its due to the driver…….
Is their any way(I know there is…and you genius Linux users are very good at it)to uninstall the driver through the recovery mode command line?
Thanx .
=================================
Question no.2
I installed wine in ubuntu partition and just wanted to know what it can do…….Do i need to install windows software again in Ubuntu from the CD’s ive got?
Does wine run windows games?If not,then what?
Que.3
Is it posible to burn softwares which r already instaled in Ubntu onto a CD(4 futre use)?
I saved 10 pnts!
I installed the driver coz the screen of my browser was flickering a lot while scrolling.
I am not acting smart………God has made me smart by birth!!
I’ve just purchased a HP 2133 Mini-note netbook and it was a bargain price, however, this is partially because it has Suse linux on it as opossed to Windows XP or Vista.
My question is, how difficult is Suse linux to use for a person with no knowledge of Linux what so ever? All I want it for it using the internet, taking notes and maybe watching a film. Do you think it’ll all come ready to go, or will it be quite complicated to set up things like the wifi on Linux?
Also, I would like to run Microsoft Office on it, and I understand that through softwear called "Wine", it is possible to run Office and other Windows software. How complex is this to set up and would it be fairly straightforward for a person without knowledge of Linux?
Thanks
my family is updating our computer, we have xp service pack 3, and since microsoft doesnt have any more security updates, we are thinking about xinows vista.
i hate that choice, so i want to go with mac or linux.
i know that linux is mostly a buiseness software, since you would have to run most programs throughe WINE, but mac’s are so expensive. windows vista is already compatible with our compuer, we have a dell, but i dont know if mac or linux will work on here.
whatever help you give is apriciated:)
i wants now to break free from my servitude to the beast of redmond. either that or i wants to closed both my fists and raised my middle fingers at bill gates.
latest of their dirty tricks is to charge cyber cafes yearly rental fees for the use of their products to cybercafe customers in Malaysia.it seems having paid for legalized software is not enough for them. their greeds makes them forget that cybercafes are the frontline free advertising ambassadors to introducing newbies to their operating softwares and office applications.
my knowledge of linux is rather limited so what linux software should i use for server and diskless clients. is ubuntu server software+vmware+crossover wine enough?
most of us cyber cafes operators are mom and pop small business. this latest move by heartless microsoft will cause most of us small businesses to throw in the towels.
please help.
I have learned how to install Linux on a windows (win) PC. I run 50% of the time on Linux & the other 50% on win (because my school requires software that was designed to run on windows). I know about the wine application, but win applications run better on a win OS.
Those wanting to try Linux, go to Linux http://distrowatch.com , download & burn an iso file to a CD as an iso image ( http://download.com has download managers and CD burning software for free).
The versions I like are MEPIS , Damn-Small , or Puppy, because those Linux CDs will boot up and you can try a version before installing it. I have heard some people just run off these ‘live’ CD versions.
To install Linux so you have a dual ‘boot’ PC (has both win & Linux), the hard drive needs to be partioned into 3 parts: windows, .5Gb Linux swap, 5Gb Linux.
I have been working just fine on at dual boot PC for years now.
So, my question is: I would like to know how others do it?
I am planning to download Mandriva Linux, and I was wondering which "cross-over" software to download. I was thinking on the lines of:
CrossOver,Cedega and Wine.
I want to install Microsoft Office, and maybe MSN Live Messenger (if its possible).
