Creeva’s World 2.0

Well I man­aged to get the sound work­ing on my Toshiba lap­top by fol­low­ing the steps in this thread.

So that’s part is done — I think my wire­less card is work­ing — but I have a key issue I need to work out with the encryp­tion tomorrow.

SO sound and pos­si­bly NIC is work­ing (I’m on a wired col­lec­tion right now)

I man­aged to get World of War­craft work­ing but I need to fig­ure out how to lower the res­o­lu­tion with­out WINE crash­ing on me since I don’t need it maximized.

Star Wars Galax­ies how­ever moved over to the new launch­pad on me today, so that is not cur­rently work­ing cor­rectly in WINE — I’ll play more with that this week­end — but I still have a desk­top I can han­dle that on.

ABC.COM wouldn’t stream it’s episodes say­ing I needed win­dows or OSX — I worked around this by start­ing the win­dows ver­sion of Fire­fox in WINE — then it worked fine — Foo on You ABC.

So all in all I think this migra­tion is going to be a suc­cess but it’s only been a cou­ple hours so far — I’ll keep writ­ing about my expe­ri­ences and list how it goes for another Win­dows to Linux switcher.
