Welcome back, Dizzy! Didnt realise i was being so closely watched. I mostly keep the ubuntu stuff pretty quiet. Anyway, no, i dont have a job there - in that i dont get paid. yet. hopefully that'll change, once i get a bit more into it. Anyway... Yes, i got MOTU  And it's very useful. Upload rights are fun! Oh yeah, and Hello everyone! I'm in chat more than forums - i tend to avoid forums. Oh, and Pescado, that's the done list, the to-do list is somewhere else, and is incomplete. Silly Pescado. |

Neither of you know me, but you're both (in)famous here so hi and welcome back!
Kind of cool, actually, when you've seen some names for months on end and suddenly there they are in the flesh...erm... in the pixel.

I haven't died. I moved to the American South. Rumors to the contrary are highly exaggerated.
Member 960. Admitted to the MATY Senate by a 10-0 vote: 2006 August 10. Expelled by a 15-12 vote: 2008 May 30.
Should that mean anything?

I am also glad Pescado wasnt right - I didnt and didnt want to believe that you were dead - just figured you had other things going on. Sorry to hear about the family complications but its good to see you around again.

Ubuntu actually works? When I installed Kubuntu, I couldn't even get Opera to install. OpenSUSE worked a whole lot better.
I have a feeling that Pescado killed someone since Dizzy came back.

Well, whichever works for you. I use Ubuntu. I tried out the latest Opera and it's overrated IMHO. I also tried out that uslab (start menu thingy) and it's okay, but it's no substitute for a real Gnome menu. The thing that makes Ubuntu really cool is its brownness.  |

Hey dizzy! I'm another person you probably don't know, but oh well. Glad to see you're still around and not worm food like Pescado wanted us to believe, heh. Anyhow, I use Ubuntu on my linux box, and I love it, it's great. I would (and do) reccommend it to anyone.  |

I tried out Firefox, and it's much more overrated IMHO. It doesn't pass Acid2, Firefox 3 no longer supports 95/98, and is generally slower than Seamonkey. OpenSUSE worked better, but I still had too many problems with it. I only got Seamonkey and Opera to install on it, and when I tried to install "critical" updates it wouldn't install them. It took several tries to get rid of FF and OpenOffice. It also wouldn't install simple things, like Wine and KOffice either. I do have to give it credit though, it got farther than Kubuntu. However, I haven't had a Windows XP program fail to install in a long time. Then again, maybe Linux just hates me. I can never seem to get into the console because it won't let me enter a password, and those two distros just won't let me install stuff on them. |

Well, if you do decide to come back to Ubuntu, Opera is pretty easy to install (via apt-get): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowserSorry, I guess Linux just likes me better. I've never had any trouble with Wine or CVSCedega. 99% of all the programs are available with one or two mouse clicks to install. Firefox and Opera are almost exactly the same speed on my machine. Never had any problems that I couldn't work around by editing xorg.conf or the fstab or reading a man file. |

Can VMware really run TS2 and the expansions?
I'm asking because I've been looking at Ubuntu for a little while now and I'm getting pretty interested. A friend of mine has it and says that he likes it. I keep hearing people rave about it online. And if it can play TS2 as good as it plays in Windows then I'm willing to drop Windows like a bad habbit.
I know there are programs out there like Wine and Cedega that can run Windows games in Linux. But I'm not too sure if they can run them as well as they run in Windows.
I suppose I could just do a dual boot like I had with Windows and Debian a few years ago. But that was rather annoying.

Welcome back Dizzy. I've used your stuff forever, and was really upset when JM said you had passed on. He just likes tugging on the heartstrings methinks.

I'm pretty sure VMware can run TS2. The only problem is you need a relatively new processor for decent speed, something that supports virtualization, preferably. Actually, thanks to superior memory and file handling, Wine typically runs programs better than Windows as long as they are compatible. Dual booting is annoying, but I seriously don't trust Windows on the internet anymore. Their security policies have really been going bad lately.  |
