WINE

Wine Is Not an Emulator...
Rather strange Acronym for a pretty great piece of software! I've been playing around with wine lately and it seems like a pretty great thing. I can run IE(internet exploder(explorer...)) and also Opera and firefox pretty well which makes it so much easier to watch those little flash videos lately! Adobe doesn't seem to care about their linux users, which is really sad...




Anyways, I found this great place called Franks Corner which I think is one of the WINE developers site... anyways, it has a bunch of programs that are known to actually work under wine. Many Programs work under wine but it's not perfect. Oftimes it's unstable and a lot of things don't work. They've done pretty good though for what they've got!



I hear windows is actually switching to the linux base... maybe, well they didn't actually say that they were switching to the linux base but were going to make windows and linux more cross-compatable. So, maybe not really the linux base. Probably the windoze base with linux cammands. how... wonderfully terrible. But maybe after a few years windows will finally get it straight and switch to the linux base. Mac has been doing very well since they've done that! Many people have been buying Macs lately because they're known for their great stability. I'd use Mac more often but, they aren't open source and that hinders from the most usage. If they were more open source, it'd be great :D.


well... I guess that's all for now folks!
