Ubuntu

[Harris6310]

I'm having trouble installing VB6.0 but I think that's just because of a bad torrent. I haven't tried installing ELI through Wine, I'll try that soon. And I am starting to learn the basics of the terminal.

Running VB6 in WINE is usually not a good idea, at least for me. Check your WINE config. I've actually had to fresh install WINE a few times to get everything working. That's why I just run XP in VirtualBox.

Hmm, I didn't know about VirtualBox, not that I was looking for it. I'm going to have to try it out when I get home.

Visual Basic 6 will work on Wine.

Some program will work even better or worse on Linux (Ubuntu)
World of Warcraft work better on Linux(Just for an example)

I'll recommend you to uppgrade your Ubuntu verson to 10.04 LTS.

The screen shot says it all.

~~Haven & Hearth~~
~~Visual Basic 6.0~~
**Eclipse Origins**

[Adulese Games]

From my understanding Eclipse Origins won't work due to WINE not handling the .dlls correctly. It really doesn't take much to just open up your VirtualBox and run it there. You just might have trouble with your wi-fi card.

It's called Berkeley or BSD sockets for God's sake *trollface*.

This means that the user tailor makes their operating system to their wants/needs/desires/specifications etc leaving you with a completely personal OS. So therefore you donthave all the xcess baggage such as driver packs for hardware you don't even have or software that you don't even use.

You could as well compile either BSD, GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd *trollface* from scratch, while you are at it.

Success!

And now no one has a reason not to convert.

It won't install properly?

[Xavi]

Well this was quite an adventure, now wasn't it?

[Harris6310]

Hell yeah!

What did you have to do with wine to make it work?

[Drummerpete]

He's using virtualbox.

[xeross]

I might setup a dual-boot with windows, but as I play a lot of games Ubuntu isn't ideal, it's possible but not everything will work flawlessly.

[The New World]

Is Ubuntu 10.04 able to dual boot with windows?

Yeah

Ubuntu has its own repertoire of games, even though smaller, some games are pretty good.

I had once set up a machine with the following boot options: Windows XP, Windows 7 Release Candidate, Solaris 10 and Linux Ubuntu 9.10.

And you're one.
If you're not interested on this topic, don't post and if you are, at least read what it's about.

[Drummerpete]

Luls.
Tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 on my C:/ drive next to windows…
Wrecked my C drive, had to re install windows.
I'd completely convert to Ubuntu if it weren't for guitar pro.

Yeh silly absurd idea.

Also as for Guitar Pro just use TuxGuitar instead, it's better anyway [http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/](http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/)

[Drummerpete]

Eh, not a sily idea… Especially since the Ubuntu guide says that's the best way to dual boot :)

Also, the looks nowhere near as good as guitar pro.

[lollicat]

Looks very nice, I'd try it but I have too much crap I NEED to work on here, and I dunno how much Ubuntu works with.

Maybe if I ever get a Macbook.

[Marsh]

Just go the EO server running on ubuntu (without running xp as a virtual box). I may take a crack at the client later and write a tut.
