I dual boot various forms of Linux and this one may stay on my puter for a while. With Wine to run windows programs...its simple, powerful and the Shock of learning a new operating system is minimized..its much akin to Windows in many ways Gunner Look to see if Mint has "PlayonLinux" as an installable file in Synaptics or Mint's equivalent of the Ubuntu Software Center. I installed PlayonLinux and now I can run Internet Explorer 6 !!! Still haven't figured out why I would want to, tho. technomaNge -- Posted from my Ubuntu 9.10 box. |
