Well, I managed to get the sound working on my Toshiba laptop by following the steps inthis 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 are working (I’m on a wired collection 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 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 its 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 of hours so far — I’ll keep writing about my experiences and list how it goes for another Windows to Linux switcher. Simple Share Buttons Adder (8.4.5) simplesharebuttons.com
