The Switch(tm) Part 3

[inaki]

So, I haven't switched back. This is the first post actually being made within Linux (the others were from my laptop) and I'm quite happy. I have all my bookmarks and cookies imported from Windows, and I have all my Firefox plugins set up.

I think I may have broken Amarok with the size of my music collection. I may have to switch it over to full Mysql instead of sqlite. Not a big deal. I got some of the audio glitches worked out, though SL still has issues with audio playback. I have Amarok playing Lt3M no problem now. I still need to install MythFrontend.

I have Automatix installed now, and its given me fun things like Wine and media codecs. I haven't expiramented with Wine yet, but thats coming up soon. I'm gonna play with GIMP for a bit, but honestly I'm gonna be installing Photoshop CS3.

Oh and Kahn got Steam working on her machine, so I'll hafta try that on mine! Possible HL2 support! Yes I'll be trying for Bioshock and TF2 as well ;>

I'm still working out an Outlook replacement. Kontact tends to crash on me, and I haven't really troubleshooted it.

I also need to test video playback.

Okay thats it for now!

Evolution is a good option for replacing outlook. Video playback on 64 bit is a bit tricky. Seven or I will have to hook you up with a 32 bit version of mplayer and 32 bit codecs.

I ran Amarok in a VM and it added our combined music collection flawlessly into the MySQL database. It didn't take long either.
