Bordeaux for FreeBSD coming soon

  • Linux
  • Open Source
  • Software
  • Wine

Over the last couple day's I have been working on the Bordeaux for FreeBSD 7 port. We now have everything compiling and running but a lot more testing needs to be done before it's ready for a final release. Internet Explorer, Steam and Office 2003 are the only applications ive gotten around to testing thus far. The good news is everything that I have tested works fairly well on FreeBSD.

If you're a FreeBSD user and need to run any of the software that we currently support on the Linux client you might be interested in helping beta test this build and future builds up to the final stable release. At this time we cant give out beta builds, but what we can do is if you purchase a licence from the store for a Linux build then send a mail to support. This email is provided once you purchase a licence, and ask for a FreeBSD build I can send it to you.

Another mistress

Another mistress -

I think I'm having an affair. Maybe it's the seven-year itch. Maybe it's an old flame. Maybe it's the clothes Zen wears. I find Zen Cart alluring.

Don't misunderstand that my love died for Drupal. The ready marketing infrastructure of Zen Cart, however, drew my wanton gaze.

Samba

  • Open Source
  • Windows

Samba is long for SMB which is short for Server Message Block which is also known as Windows Networking. Samba enables, among many things, a Linux machine to be a peer member of a Microsoft Windows network. This case describes the process using Ubuntu Linux.

Although it is one of the options available when installing an Ubuntu server, you can add it later with "tasksel" at the command line (Applications, Accessories, Terminal)

sudo tasksel

All the machines on the network need names and IP addresses. The simplest mechanism to mapping addresses to names is to edit the "hosts" file. On Ubuntu that file is /etc/hosts. My home network has four machines, a router and a printer. My hosts file looks like this:

Graphviz

  • Drupal
  • Open Source
  • Software

Those who are starting to explore diagrams, organization charts, flow charts etc. would do well to start here. Graphviz does lots of tricks but the simplest is the directed acyclic graph or DAG. Before you run away, a directed graph at its simplest relates two "things" such that one leads to another, e.g. a->b or a leads to b. Think "flipping the switch turns on the light". The part of Graphviz that takes the left side leads to the right side statements is called "dot". Pretend you are Aristotle expounding on causation or a preacher drawing the creation process from Genesis.

Inkscape

Inkscape is a graphical front end to an SVG. In some ways it is like Adobe Illustrator but it has a number of extra features which rival Adobe Flash. It doesn't do photos but will trace them and it doesn't do videos but will do animation.

GMail - IMAP - Thunderbird

IMAP has arrived for GMail. The neat things about IMAP are folders and synchronization between multiple client machines. N.B. You must use the web based access to train your SPAM filter and to resolve issues. IMAP for GMail is new and there will be bumps. I tried it with Evolution and it was extremely slow. It seems to be working fine with Thunderbird. I don't use Microsoft mail clients. You can download Thunderbird for Windows from here.

Once you are emotionally and intellectual prepared for this "excellent adventure" -

Click Settings on the upper right of your LSNet - GMail page, then Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
