has any one used lycoris linux? i have a year or two age. vary nice desktop. one of the nice features that come pre setup is a network icon like network hood in winblows that allows you to browse win shares. i'm sure its using samba some how. is it possable to set up a browse network like this on other linux like redhat, fordora, what ever other desktop you use.I don't have any familiarity with lycoris, I'm currently using Gentoo but I've tried many others. I'm using gnome and with samba and the gnome-vfs-extras packages I can open a nautilus window at type smb:/// and all of the workgroups or domains are listed and you can walk the tree just like Windows. You also might want to try xfsamba for more detailed samba views.
You're right, KDE looks more like Windows than Gnome. Personally I've tried both and both are very easy to work with. It's a personal choice at this point because they are both really good.i know that lycoris runs the kde desktop. any thoughts? this distro looks a lot like winblows http://www.lycoris.com/
Just to pick a nit, Wine Is Not an Emulator. Anyway... it is nice when you have that one last application that just doesn't have a linux equivalent. I thought I would need it all of the time, but there just aren't that many things in the world I need to do that don't have linux versions or equivalents. The only application that I've had the need to use it for is a Cub Scout Pack Management tool I use.what are your thoughts on wine? NO not the kind you drink! i don't need to know what goes best with fish.
any one used, thoughts on using the wine emulator?
how is it used kde, knome ect.
The Wine installer I used (Gentoo ebuild) automatically associated all exe files with Wine. So I just click on an exe and it will run with wine. Otherwise, I can just type 'wine applicationname.exe' and up it comes. Wine has a configuration directory which looks like a Windows drive when a wine application is started. You can also set up other virtual windows drives to point to other directories on your system.
maybe some one could do a demo on this a meeting?Sorry, I'm in Omaha and don't get up to Sioux City much anymore.
