Well after weeks of fscking around with Bochs (cool but way too slow at this stage) and VMWare (Windows XP and 98) I finally got Lotus Notes up and running on my Gentoo system with WINE.
http://ar.com.au/~keppy/index.html (A text-based browser will not help you.) I'm still in a state of shock as to how well it runs. It's actually better than on Windows because you are not risking having to reboot your computer when it crashes. Way to go WINE devs!! A tip for all those VMWare users out there. If you are running Windows XP as the guest OS and value the information inside it at all, stop what you are doing and proceed to backup that information the best way you can. Why? I had it setup nicely when one day the virtual machine was killed without shutting down properly (don't ask how - shit happens). So you think it would just run scandisk or some other pseudo disk integrity checker, right? Wrong! After trying many many times to restart XP all I got was the infamous blue screen of death. No access to my data!! Whether you can access the data some other way I do not know. Maybe you can, maybe you can't. Perhaps you can boot from the Windows XP CD and attempt to recover that data that way. Who knows. All I knew by that stage is that there was no way I was going to risk my files with such as setup. That's what makes WINE better. At least your files are stored on the disk natively. Now, off to see what other Windows apps I can install with WINE... -- |<eppy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
