Wine, Linux and Multimedia Software (Part 1)
,----[ Quote ]
| Installing Ubuntu was easy, with all of my hardware being automatically
| detected including my laser printer. I was immediately impressed with how
| simple everything is to use. Some of the software that I used under
| Windows is also available under Linux. Skype, FireFox, and OpenOffice are
| three of my most frequently used applications, and the transition to Linux
| for these applications was painless. However, there remained one
| significant barrier to becoming productive under Linux. Unfortunately, the
| developers of many of my favorite Windows software have decided not to
| release a Linux version. Whilst there are Linux alternatives for many of
| these applications (some of which, no doubt, are just as good or in fact
| even better than what I had been using in the Windows world), this did not
| alter the fact that I would need to learn how a large set of new software
| worked. Do not get me wrong, I love experimenting with fresh software. But
| to be faced with having to learn about so many new applications
| simultaneously was a bit daunting.

Creating Pseudo-3D Imagery with GIMP: Part 1
,----[ Quote ]
| Here again, I would stress that nothing beats a properly planned image,
| that applies to all genres you can think of. Some might think it's a waste
| of precious time to start sitting and planning without having a concrete
| output at the end of the thought process. But believe me, the ideas you
| planned will be far more powerful and beautiful than those ideas you just
| had, when you were just messing around and playing with the tool directly.

Review: Ubuntu Tweak
,----[ Quote ]
| I never install anything outside of the official Ubuntu software
| repositories unless I am able to audit the source code - this is one of
| the benefits of open-source software. So, I downloaded the Ubuntu Tweak
| .deb file and unpacked it. Everything looked fine so I installed it. The
| installation completed without errors on my Ubuntu 9.04 system so I
| launched the app from a terminal.

| If you want to run a WebKit web browser with no strings attached (unlike
| Safari and Google Chrome), Arora is surely worth a try.

Arora, a refreshing new Qt/WebKit browser
,----[ Quote ]
| The Gentoo Qt maintainers have been doing a fantastic job of getting
cutting
| edge Qt software into shape with the qting-edge overlay. Iâve been
running
| Qt 4.5 since beta1 and am pleased with the direction it is going.
Recently
| the devs bumped the Arora ebuild to version 0.5. Arora is a lightweight
| browser based on Qt and WebKit.

Arora: A light-weight, cross-platform web browser based on WebKit
,----[ Quote ]
| Arora is an open source web browser that uses the same WebKit rendering
| engine found in Safari and Google Chrome. But unlike those browsers, Arora
is
| already capable of running on Windows, Linux, and OS X, as well as a few
| other platforms including FreeBSD.
