ubuntu so far so good :)

Wow, didnt realise it has been almost 1year and 1 month running 99% of my work stuff on ubuntu.


I could do almost all of my work programming on it.
With the help of wine, i could run most of the software right off within linux itself.







My list of software / games ran successfully on ubuntu via wine:

• ms office word, powerpoint and excel 2003
• macromedia dreamweaver 8 and macromedia flash 8
• fallout 1 and fallout 2 , yeah!

Mmm my most used application are:

• Eclipse for linux 0 pdt with subclipse, yeah!
  
• Mysql 5, apache2, php5
  
• Firefox 3, Opera
• Evolution, but prefer thunderbird for imap
• amsn
• deluge-torrent
• Skype
• MySql Administrator
• Filezilla
• Pidgin
• Meld - comparing file
• GIMP - mm still prefer adobe photoshop
• OpenOffice - it sucks on m$ formated docs
• Gnumeric - fast worksheet program
• Brasero CD Burner
• VLC
• MPlayer - for DVD and CD
• PostgreSQL
• PGAdminIII
• 
  

Hm.. on my slower laptop, XFCE Windows Manager Rox!
It runs like a charm. Its almost like the speed of windows 98 on a todays machine... awsome!

But on my new office laptop, compiz rox! the 3d cube gives the "feel good" :D

But, if you want to play game on a compiz enabled desktop, you got to disable it before you play those 3D game. Or else, things can be pretty ugly :(
It also has similar issue with some java installer. The gui can be pretty screwed :X
