Teaching myself to install Windows applications via WINE in Zorin9 on the virtual machine.......NotePad++ running beautifully Mmm....I wonder if I can get WinDBG to work in WINE...

 

[kado897]

Wine can be a bit picky on what it will run Colin.

Yep. I'll watch out for that.

Colin how do you like zorin? It is one of my fav distros.

 

[kado897]

I'm just trying MX-14. It looks quite good so far.

Ubuntu is more polished, but Zorin9 is far, far quicker....it feels snappier, even running as a VM. The Windows 7 look and feel is nice too.

I've got a few installed now, and playing with that:
Ubuntu
PepperMint5
LinuxMint17
PCLinuxOS
Zorin9

I'll give MX14 a crack too

Colin, I'd like to suggest you try CentOS. My absolute favorite Linux distro. Microsoft has built-in support for CentOS and OpenSUSE in Hyper-V (Windows 8 and later).

You are welcome. See this although I doubt you need any help with it: Hyper-V VM - Install CentOS Linux in Windows 10. Applies to Windows 8 Pro and 8.1 Pro as well.

Ohh thats nice Kari.....will keep that bookmarked for when I install W10 again.....I had to give that up when my laptop died.

 

[kado897]

That's rather nice. 50 years a member of the AA.

 

[A Guy]

Wow!

A Guy

 

[kado897]

Yes, 50 years and well over a million miles.

 

[z3r010]

I think some folks are going to get confused with the AA having a different meaning in the UK and US.

 

[kado897]

I see what you mean John, although I think 50 years in the other AA would be some achievement.

 

[Joan Archer]

It made me think at first till I looked at the badges on the front, we've got one here but can't fix it on the car so it sits in the cupboard. My Johns not been driving that long he only started when we moved to Wales.

Wow, you must be far from home!

I saw the badges and knew it was the Auto Club

That's a lot of driving Bill. You must get through a lot of vehicles.
