Man ,I hate hate hate Ubuntu + Wine Integration.
I have tried to install many programs with it.
From small games to medium ones – from Small apps to a little over medium ones.
BUT nothing works in it.
It always stops working.
My PC is working fine with it.
But there is this one bugginess that doesn’t leave this wine.
I think I am too much illiterate in Linux/Ubuntu right now that is why I am unable to get it to work but I don’t know.
It should work.
I install it properly.
It should WORK.

Why do some always bargh at the integration of WINE to assist those brought up with Windoze, do these same people still write in latin script or have they too moved on and adapted.

I have just moved to Ubuntu 10.10 from Vista, I love it but a left over from Windoze is my wish for Dreamweaver, only. I am sure that almost everyone broke their teeth on Windoze, so why if it helped them should it not still help others.

An equivelent Linux program to Dreamweaver and I will be the first to switch.

Slightly off-topic, but what if the WoW developers pulled a Google Earth-ish move and provided a WoW version for Linux that installed a captive WINE implementation already pre-configured to run WoW in an optimized fashion? I know it is not the same as having a native Linux implementation but I have very little hope that Bliz will ever port WoW directly. This method would sure make life easier for me.

“ubuntu is aimed to be a os respecting social and moral values”

Jesus H F-ing Christ. It’s just an OS. Let’s all hold hands and sing kumbaya. More liberal nonsense like “lets make NASA more accessible to foreigners.” Why? so they can bomb us from space?

ppl are simply missing the point .. it is not abt windows or ubuntu or mac or any other the reason ubuntu is respected is that it is free-software or it gives user the complete freedom..if u want to use non-free games or apps whats the point u have gained 4m ubuntu or any othr free-software .. ubuntu is aimed to be a os respecting social and moral values ..

see: UAC, vista. People just turn the shit off if you have to keep clicking on it to make it go away. PEOPLE DON”T CARE. THEY JUST WANT THE COMPUTER TO WORK. If you’re so GD smart, why doesn’t it?

clickonce/dotnet > 3.5 apps are becoming more and more commonplace in the biz world. Ubuntu needs to run these, otherwise, it’s just a big stinking turd.

I wish Canonical could fund the WINE project to quicken its development so it can function close to 100%. What truly frustrates me with WINE is knowing how to debug your applications in order to make them run and I’m not knowledgeable enough to do that. If WINE had a friendly debugging gui or something it would perhaps help the “windows” people side to linux more. Kinda sad cause I love linux even though windows was my first OS.

Vineyard is a very promising project, Christian – thanks for dropping in and mentioning it. Best of luck with your work on integrating AppDB!
