This is day 2 of using Ubuntu 6.10 and Wine 0.9.30. Newsbin is the first program I've tried to install in wine. Everything works except "The Message Of The Day". I have to click the x to get rid of it. Newsbin seems to save my configuration, except for my screen layout. It is back to original each time i start the program. I have no problem with starting with the Gnome GUI. So far I'm happy with the transition to Linux.

I refuse to upgrade to Vista.

Edit: I almost forgot the Newsbin version is 5.33 Build 7737

That's good to hear. Got someone trying to use crossover office posting here today who isn't so lucky. I could never get it working on my Linux box.

did you install the gecko engine? i am also using ubuntu 6.10 with 5.33 and am able to see the message of the day after downloading the gecko engine. although i would like to just turn it off like in 5.32.

Advanced tab.

At the moment, I'm Microsoft's bitch. Don't have any linux boxes here at the house. It just works, which is all I can ask of my PC. I wiped the file server and installer Media Center to feed video to my 360

have you tried anything like vmware before?

works great and doesn't mess with your system.
