Peng’s links for Saturday, 31 May
Posted by Peng on 31 May 2008
I bet you guys thought I was taking the weekend off and I wouldn’t have another links post until at least Monday. Nope! I found some great links that I don’t want to hold on to that long. I also managed to update my search folder in Thunderbird so I finally have all of the articles I flag for blogging in one place.
- WineHQ News: Wine 1.0-rc3 Released. WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator), one of the best ways to run Windows software under Linux got a step closer to their 1.0 release with their third release candidate.They’re only doing big fixes, but a crap load of bugs got squashed, even since RC2 came out on the 23rd.
- Christer Edwards: Install VMware Server 1.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy”. It can be easy to set up a virtual machine under Linux so you can for example, have access to Windows programs that don’t play so well in WINE without logging out of Linux. Christer has a brand new tutorial for us with that specifically sets up a virtual server in Ubuntu Hardy.
- Martin Albisetti: Big Buck Bunny, open source at it’s best. Martin made a short film featuring a great big bunny. You should definitely check out this wonderfully made story, if for no other reason than to see how good a 100% open source animated film can look.
- Torley Linden: Fixing the small stuff and making a big difference. Nanci is usually the one who blogs the SL things, but I read Torley’s latest post and it makes sense for everyone, especially web designers.

Will I have a post tomorrow? You’ll have to come back and see. For now get out there and enjoy your Saturday, especially if it’s sunny where you are.
