ok so now i have a bit of too much free time

anybody help me, can i get football manager up and running on ubuntu

yep.. install wine (sudo apt-get install wine)
after it's installed, open up a terminal and enter: (winecfg)

Select windows 98 as the windows version, and go to sound and choose an appropriate sound driver (it should do this automatically if you enter the tab)
after that, either, (wine "../.../setup.exe") or (wine "../../fm.exe") if you have it installed already.. you have to have a no-cd crack tho, iirc..

have fun

I got FM running before, but IIRC I ran it on VMware not sure though... You should give that a try Bessie boy.

Well MS are known to put out great code, aren't they. Frankly the whole proposition of "validating" an environment is pretty hard to begin with, there is no obvious target to check.

just tried out Frostwire recently and was amazed! works somewhat better than Limewire! must try the bittorrent client in it!

Microsoft has been distributing Ubuntu Desktop Linux from the Windows Marketplace Website. The page is gone now, but can still — as of this morning — be seen using Google cache. 'Heaven only knows that's true, simply perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. The part Microsoft got wrong is it says the license is "Free" and "No limitations". Actually, the GPL does set some limitations, like what you are responsible to do if you redistribute.'"

I passed by a distro called Mint. I installed it as it was Debian based and I was starting to get really pissed with PCLOS and its lame rpm. After I started the adventure it turned out to be a polished Kubuntu coming from Ireland. That's its default look

The pic is not fully loading Jack.

 

[JCK]

Works fine with me.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

does it have Add/Remove Programs?

 

[JCK]

Yes it does

There's a review about Linux Mint in this month's PCLINUXOS magazine and to sum it up they call it "Ubuntu done right", as it's based on *buntu.

That's a nice screenshot Jack, I love the icon for the USB stick, that's really flashy. Don't think I'll be switching anytime soon but will try it out when I can certainly.

 

[JCK]

All the icons are amazing, this iconset I use on all the distros I tried and it comes by default on Mint. If you like it install it it is called Nuovex or something like that. The directories look nmeat also, I will post a screen shot displaying the icons later.

NuvoX? Silly me, didn't recognize it, I use it on all KDE distros as well.
