[split] Linux ... (CommunityAuth) |

It's designed by default to be lightweight. Wine is an application you must install yourself. Frankly, if your not willing to do a few minutes of Googling and finding out how you can install Wine in just 3-4 steps in most Linux distro's then I believe Linux is not well suited for you. OK Diederik, I like constructive criticism but please don't think I don't research before I ask questions. I've done more than a few "minutes" I've spent many hours researching. I learn far more by researching myself. I've already researched http://distrowatch.com/search.php?pkg=wi...#pkgsearch and http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/...175519205/ (Which is of little help) and http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/...istro.html (Which is where I found SolydXK). TNFrank says "SolydXK has not only WINE but Plan On Linux installed. Give it a look." I found SolydK to be dysfunctional, including its forums. You say "Wine is an application you must install yourself" I've tried to install "Wine" in Ubuntu but failed. Without being connected to the Internet the only other port is the DVD Drive. It appears my only possible way to get "Wine" is get a distro with it already installed. The primary thing I need to do on my new (1 month old) laptop is get connected to the Internet. My ISP is Windows based, although I'm trying to connect to another ISP but that is proving difficult in my current location. Once I'm connected to the Internet in my new laptop, I will cross the bridges of other Windows based programs. I'm addicted to UltraEdit, and anybody who uses it would be the same. UltraEdit does any repetition work I want, and so simply and quickly. For example I can copy a line such as a URL so simply and quickly. Or save and go to the top or bottom of the text page so simply and quickly. The text editor in Ubuntu does not appear to have a macro. You may note skunkbad uses Photoshop and Illustrator, which he runs in Virtualbox. If you have been using Linux on servers for many years, then you are the person I'd like to keep in touch with. The project I intend building will probably benefit you. |
