To Post or Not to Post

Sorry to have you looked into my never updated blog. Again I would promise again to have new post real soon (keep your finger cross :-))

About Game Reviews

Starting today I will post short reviews about free games (there are big collection of them on the internet) for Linux or Windows. Mostly I will test their compatibility with Linux (Ubuntu particularly). For other review points such as story or gameplay I will use existing reviews from internet.

I will also review old (commercial) games for Windows under Linux. At the end I hope to build a small compatibility list or play list for Linux Environment. Stay tuned...

 

PS: I may double post as I use email posting to blog from my office mail (2nd post shouuld be from home to update anything related to online resources e.g screenshots, links etc)

Deus Ex

Played Deus Ex a month ago. Nice, compatible with my Ubuntu via Wine
I should give more review for games I played, specially under Ubuntu / Linux

Return of the ...

Oops, time to get back to the blog. Many things happen. I've got new cable connection 3 months ago. Reinstall my Ubuntu and try to migrate as much as (Windows) applications / games to it.
Guess you will see it later on next posts.

Start posting again...

After my office internet access been taken away, now starting from my home connection. I still cannot post from my Ubuntu due to my modem won't work.

Firefox Blocked!

enough said, my company is blocking the firefox... it sucks. Now I have to rely on IE7. I guess I have to make the best of it.

Forsa 1022N: OS Installation & Peripherals - Linux

There are 2 Flavors of Linux which I already install in this machine:

1. The Easy One: Linux Mint 3.0 (Cassandra)
   
2. The Classic One: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)

With The Easy One I've manage to have almost every peripherals detected but Hardware Information applet from Control Center refuses to work. Actually, right after installed there is a component need to be updated (Hardware Abstraction Layer / hal). But as I have the DVD repository, I decided to skip that update and directly goes to the DVD which unfortunately doesn't include that update :(
The main thing is I cannot have the modem set up so I cannot connect to the net. List that do not work:

1. Modem
2. Beryl (Found that the renderer should be forced to nvidia on Feisty Fawn installed system)
3. All network connection is not tested

Nice thing with Mint is proprietary/restricted components are installed out-of-box e.g DVD/VCD playback, Flash & Java.
As everything works I decided to remove the Easy One and went to the Classic One for more enlighment :)

With The Classic One goes the same song but we must install all
restricted & proprietary component. But with Feisty I've managed to set the
modem 'detectable' (as Alsa modem) but cannot dial out yet. (to be continued...)
