I found a nice description of how to use vmware-mount.pl in Linux.
Google Chrome Install
October 30, 2008 — Stephen aka DigitalEagleThe other day I found that PlayOnLinux now has a script to install Chrome. It works for me, but the main problem I have is that it doesn’t support https.

VMWare Control Keys Issue
October 30, 2008 — Stephen aka DigitalEagleI had trouble today where my control keys quite working. It is the first time it has happened, and I haven’t the problem again since. I found the solution here, and I plan to keep it handy just in case.
Fedora 10 Features
October 30, 2008 — Stephen aka DigitalEagleLXF just pointed me to an article listing some of the new features of Fedora 10.
Vista Virtual Machine
October 28, 2008 — Stephen aka DigitalEagleI finally had enough of trying to run Word 2007 on Wine. It worked several times, but every time I really needed to use it, it would fail to start. It would just hang on the splash screen. Even more annoying was that the splash screen stayed on top obstructing my view of other windows.
So, I installed Vista as a virtual machine. It works relatively well. Here are a few links I found helpful in the process.
Ri-Li
October 22, 2008 — Stephen aka DigitalEagleKent and I found this neat little game. At two years old, he is not quite able to play himself, but he seems to enjoy watching it in short bursts. I guess I am a kid at heart because I don’t mind satisfying him.
Here is a quick screenshot of the game menu:
Here is a quick screenshot of the game during play:
So, thanks Dominique for writing this game. We enjoy it!

Open Publishing
October 22, 2008 — Stephen aka DigitalEagleI had been looking for this link a while ago and couldn’t remember the name:
I found it a long time because it was linked to Bob Young, one of the founders of Red Hat. It seemed like a great option if I ever wanted to try to publish something.

Sharing Files
October 22, 2008 — Stephen aka DigitalEagleSharing files from Ubuntu was very easy with this how to. The only problem was that I had to start nautilus with root privileges the first time:
sudo nautilus
Then, I could follow the instructions.

This page has moved. Please update your links:http://linuxsagas.digitaleagle.net/2008/10/19/linux-alternatives-for-onenote/
I found a couple of forums discussing options for alternatives for Microsoft’s OneNote. I don’t really have time to research all of these, but I wanted to note them in case I had a chance to come back later and spend some time researching them more.
Here are the forums:
- Ubuntu Forums: Does OneNote 2007 work with wine?
- Ubuntu Forums: Is there a Linux equivalent to Microsoft Onenote?
Tomboy
This option seemed to be the most popular. I have used this a little, but I haven’t got into it that much.
BasKet
This is a KDE application.
Wyneken
This one looks interesting, but it doesn’t look like it is WYSIWYG. You might have to learn some formatting features.
WordPress
Now, this one I have obviously used. But, I would consider this more if you want to share your notes.
hnb
