reddragdivaBloody Ubuntu alphas. This time I tried 6.06 (working) to 8.04 (working) to 9.04 (broken again the same way). Currently reinstalling 8.10. Here's hoping 9.04 final works, or I try Fedora. KDE 4.2 does install to 8.10 if you ask it nicely (and know how to kick apt, which means "don't do this unless you aspire to become a Debian admin").
Firefox is indeed faster in Wine than native Linux — but the fonts are bloody hideous.
For my birthday, I got a steak dinner, socks, socks and more socks (stripy Camden socks, which I actually wanted), a beer glass, two six-packs of Cooper's and a chocolate, coffee and toffee cake. Looking forward to Sunday.
