My husband would agree with you.
I'm curious. Do you know what Windows programs will run on Linux? I have some expensive graphic programs.
Ping for later.
Norton caught a virus last night while I was looking at real estate websites in the UK.
yitbos
I'm with you.
ehhh... I do sometimes.. but other times I actually want to get something done and dont want to just "fix" Linux....
Use a router and software firewall, Anti-virus and an anti-apyware programs I suggest Zone Alarm(free), AVG FREE Anti-Virus and Spybot S&D(Free), Adaware personal(free), Windows Defender(free), whatever router you want D-Link, net gear etc.
All of these can be found at majorgeeks.com
you can buy a hardware router from newegg.com or wal-mart/target etc.
OH NOEZ, not H4X0RZ!
*rolls eyes*
google "wine" for linux. It is a program that permits certain windows programs to be installed and run normally on a linux desktop.
Not all programs will work, but quite a few will. :)
it allows them to run 1/2 aXXed...
LOL d00d. This post is teh sux.
It works pretty well for most "serious business" applications like Office. It can also deal with all but the latest flavors of Photoshop. However, you won't be a 1377 CounterStrike player with it. :)
Check out the wikipedia article on wine for a discussion of the pros and cons of using wine to emulate your MS software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29
However, you can actually run a virtualized Windows XP desktop in your Linux if you desire the security of Linux along with the widely available Windows apps you can purchase at the Wal Mart, presuming you have a valid XP disc and enough power under the hood to handle the additional overhead.
Aw, I'm just tired of the science-illiterate media carrying on about the eeeeeevil hackers trying to destroy the world.
It is just another step on the road to gaining justification for the limiting and monitoring of all internet traffic "for our own good."
like I said it can run Photoshop 7, 1/2 axxed! buggy and with my icons at the bottom of the layers menu... etc..
no* icons at the bottom of the layers menu
Like, say, OS X.
Still, there's the XP virtualization route if you HAVE to use photoshop instead of, say, the gimp, or an earlier version of photoshop. There are also better emulation programs, but they cost money.
Like most things in life, it's a trade off. :)
