I recently found out that you can run a version of Google Chrome in Linux (yeah I know, so late) called “Chromium“. And I decided to run a Acid3 test just for fun to see what this browser is capable of. And guess what? It passes 100/100!! (See the top image for a closer look) I actually never thought that it would get such a high score, go Linux!! However, I do not yet know if it supports HTML5, do you?
Do you use Chromium browser?
Are you finding it hard to find all of those necessary libraries when building your binaries in Ubuntu/Debian?? Well my friend, I’m here to help, apparently you can install all the necessary dependencies with the Ubuntu/Debian apt-get command (if off course the package is in the database, hihi), just type:
sudo apt-get build-dep <package>
And you should be fine, all of the necessary dependencies will be downloaded and installed.
I have no idea what that means but what I am trying to say is, I’m using Ubuntu again! Ubuntu 10.04 to be exact, And it feels good to be back! Hi Ubuntu, long time no see!
From time to time, you may need to run a Windows app or two on your Mac or Linux computer, almost all of the famous Windows apps can be run with Wine. However, you always have to compile the damn thing! But recently, I have found a package for Mac that includes the latest stable Wine binary, no compiling necessary! And the package is called “PlayOnMac”, it’s sort of a little brother of the much bigger package for Linux called “PlayOnLinux“.
You can download PlayOnMac by Clicking Here, Download and install it.
Now, i’ll show you how you can run a Windows executable with it. If it is and installation executable then you can simply double click it and the PlayOnMac wizard will pop up to help you. But our goal here is to run wine from the console, just as if you had compiled it.
And there you go! Now all you have to do is change to your desired directory and type: wine “windows exe”
When me and my family where on our way to the Canary Islands, i noticed something that made me really happy, the entertainment system on the airplane runs Linux!! I was watching Avatar and then suddenly the system rebooted, my first thought was that the system must probably run on some crappy windows version, but then i saw a happy little tux up in the left corner.
Here’s some pics i took:
